Actress Courteney Cox, who shares a daughter, Coco, with her former husband David Arquette, reflected on her upbringing, acknowledging instances where she hesitated to intervene in certain situations despite sensing that something wasn't right at the time.

Cox opened up on the 'Minnie's Questions' podcast, expressing, "I didn바카라™t want to step in even though I knew something wasn바카라™t right because she would get so mad at me. I did understand, and I should바카라™ve trusted myself, and I should바카라™ve stepped in."

"I바카라™m not saying I made her who she is, but you do see things in other people, whether it바카라™s just always taking care of people and being the nicest person. And I mean, that바카라™s one of the things with age, I바카라™ve learned to say no, I바카라™ve learned to have boundaries," she added.

Reflecting on her parenting journey, Cox admitted, 바카라œBut I mean, earlier on when she was a kid, or not even that many years ago, I wish I바카라™d been a firmer parent."

Currently, in a relationship with Snow Patrol rocker Johnny McDaid, Cox shared a surprising anecdote about their past.

She revealed that there was a moment when he split up with her just one minute into a counselling session.

Describing the experience as intense, she added: "We broke up in therapy. I didn바카라™t know it was coming. He broke up with me within the first minute, I was like, 바카라˜What?' I was in so much pain. I also don't like surprises. There was that much that needed to be dealt with that he had to protect himself around his heart."

The 'Scream' actress further disclosed that when they eventually reconciled, she had gained valuable insights about her own relationship with the world.
