Eric Roberts Reflects on Fatherhood Failures
In his memoir *Runaway Train: Or the Story of My Life So Far*, Eric Roberts candidly addresses his struggles with fatherhood and his absence in his daughter Emma Roberts’ life. He admits to abandoning Emma’s mother, Kelly Cunningham, when their daughter was just seven months old, despite the excitement of becoming a parent. Though he loved Emma, Roberts confesses he couldn’t handle the realities of being a father.
He also reveals that his substance abuse issues were the main reason for his absence, admitting that his drug use caused him to lose his role in Emma’s life. Now, as Emma is a mother herself, Roberts acknowledges that she has become the parent he couldn’t be.
