Calista Flockhart fell apart when she gave up her role as a full-time mother to return to acting.

After raising adopted son Liam from infancy, the former Ally McBeal actress returned to the small screen in 2006 to star in the hit show Brothers & Sisters. And she never realized it would be so hard.

Flockhart tells C Magazine, "All of a sudden, I wasn't home to pick Liam up from school, and I realized it wasn't really OK, and I wasn't happy, and I was scratching my eyes out. I couldn't believe I'd put myself in this situation."

Flockhart was grateful she had boyfriend Harrison Ford to fall-back on - as the Indiana Jones star became a full-time dad. She adds, "(I) Was very comforted knowing that Harrison was there - he really stepped up and became a stay-at-home dad."
