Michelle Williams Opens Up About Raising Daughter Without Heath Ledger

In a brand new interview with Porter magazine, Michelle Williams opened up about the challenges she faces raising her 11 year old daughter, Matilda Rose without her father, the late Heath Ledger; Heath passed away in January 2008, he and Michelle broke up a few months prior to that.

According to the interview (via PEOPLE magazine) she said, “In all honesty, for pretty much everything else, I feel like I’m a believer in not fighting circumstances, accepting where you are and where you’ve been…In pretty much all senses but one, I would be able to go totally down that line of thinking were it not for Matilda not having her dad. You know, that’s just something that doesn’t… I mean, it just won’t ever be right.”

Along with parenting as a single mother, Williams spoke about the challenges of dating, saying “Talk about a learning process…I think, God, what would I say about it? I feel really sensitive about it and certainly did not expect to still be dating at 36 with an 11-year-old. This is not what I imagined”.

She added, “I’m like a cat, I’m a very domestic creature…I just want to stay home and take care of people. But I’m also happy with myself and just because I might have a desire to be with someone… that won’t lead me to marry the wrong person.”
