New York >> Adele has opened up about parenting, her struggle with postpartum depression and alcohol use.

The 28-year-old singer tells Vanity Fair she felt like she had made “the worst decision” of her life after having her son, Angelo, who’s now 4. She says she eventually had to spend some time alone in order to overcome her postpartum depression.

Adele also touched on cutting back on her drinking and quitting smoking. She says “having a hangover with a child is torture.” She says she used to be a “massive drinker,” but now only indulges in two glasses of wine a week.

The comments are in the December issue of Vanity Fair.

Adele wraps up a nearly yearlong tour of Europe and North America on Nov. 21.

    Raising a child is never easy; often very difficult.

    Now that explains why this woman’s music is so excrutiatingly depressing. Every song! If I were ever forced to listen to one of her entire albums I would probably feel like committing suicide. I believe an artist should branch out once in a while and do something different. It just may break her away from all her drinking!

    This also explains the support for Hillary Clinton.

      Anyone supporting HitLIARy will definitely feel another round of ObamaCare like policies shoved down their throat and that alone will cause post-BARACKtum depression.

    Wow, she had a kid 4 years ago?? I didn’t even know that.
