Eric
Roberts
is
shedding
light
on
his
family
dynamics.
After
offering
an
apology
to
sister
Julia
Roberts
for
his
role
in
their
years-long
estrangement,
the
actor
discussed
his
relationship
with
daughter
Emma
Roberts
when
asked
to
name
the
“toughest
period”
of
his
life.
“Probably
the
loss
of
relationship
with
my
daughter,”
the
Dancing
With
the
Stars
contestant
said
on
the
Oct.
22
episode
of
the
Inside
of
You
podcast.
“There’s
not
a
pain,
there’s
a
sadness
for
the,
most
likely,
misunderstandings
[that]
I’ll
have
forever.
Because
we’re
human.”
The
Pope
of
Greenwich
Village
star
welcomed
Emma,
now
33,
with
ex
Kelly
Cunningham
in
1991
and
went
on
to
marry
wife
Eliza
Roberts
the
following
year.
Amid
his
battle
with
addiction,
he
lost
custody
of
his
daughter,
calling
that
the
“biggest
consequence”
of
his
drug
use
in
his
memoir,
Runaway
Train:
Or
the
Story
of
My
Life
So
Far.
While
Eric
has
been
sober
since
1995,
he
revealed
he’s
gained
a
new
perspective
on
his
“sadness”
over
Emma—who
shares
3-year-old
son
Rhodes
Robert
Hedlund
with
ex
Garrett
Hedlund—in
recent
years.
