Adele held a two-hour special Sunday night that showed off her music and revealed how she handles her family life as a single parent.

Adele opened up to Oprah Winfrey about how difficult it is to be a single parent and being the best for your child every day, according to The Guardian.

  • “It’s a process: the process of a divorce, the process of being a single parent, the process of not seeing your child every single day wasn’t really a plan that I had when I became a mum,” Adele said.
  • “The process of arriving for yourself every single day, turning up for yourself every single day,” she added. “And still running a home, running a business so many people know what I’m talking about and I feel like that as well, I juggled those things as well. And I felt like not doing it any more.”

Adele has been promoting her upcoming album — called “30” — over the last few weeks, saying that the project helped her come to terms with herself and her identity, according to USA Today.

  • “I feel like this album is self-destruction, then self-reflection and then sort of self-redemption,” she told Vogue. “But I feel ready. I really want people to hear my side of the story this time.”
