What did Hugh Jackman say about his parents' divorce?

"It was traumatic," Hugh Jackman once said about the relationship with his mother, according to Geo Tv.

The actor added, "I thought she was probably going to come back. And then it sort of dragged on and on. I remember her being in a towel around her head and saying goodbye. [It] must have been the way she said goodbye."

"As I went off to school, when I came back, there was no one there in the house. The next day there was a telegram from England. Mum was there. And then that was it. Dad used to pray every night that mum would come back," expressed 'The Wolverine' actor.
