Hayden Panettiere worries daughter is going through ‘trauma’ without a mom

“My breath hitched and my heart stopped, and he was laughing. He thought this was funny, and it was horrifying to me.”

Hayden Panettiere has expressed her frustration after her baby daddy’s reaction to something her daughter did.

Actress Hayden Panettiere has opened about her family and the concerns she has for her 7 year-old daughter, Kaya.

While speaking on the online show Red Table Talk, she spoke about the difficulties she thinks her daughter is dealing with.

The actress had previously relinquished custody of the child to her father, Wladimir Klitschko, but has spoken on the issues she thinks this has caused, according to reports.

“I ... remember her dad calling me, and he said Kaya’s going around and asking other women if she can call them ‘mommy,’" Panettiere said on the Facebook Watch show.

She continued: “My breath hitched and my heart stopped, and he was laughing. He thought this was funny, and it was horrifying to me.”

“He didn’t get it, as opposed to me who saw that’s a trauma reaction. That’s a cry for help.

“When I asked her about it she went into goo-goo ga-ga speak, like just talking gibberish. I’d never before ever heard her do that.

“It was a trauma that she was experiencing, me not being around.”

Panettiere has also said she doesn’t believe this is simply a cute phase but rather will spell bigger issues in the future.

She added it is ‘going to rear its ugly head later when she’s older, and it could turn into anger, depression, sadness.’

During the candid confessions, Panettiere also opened about the struggle of giving up custody and explained that she didn’t believe it was ‘fully in her control’.

She even revealed that she signed over custody without fully talking to the ex-boxer in a moment she dubbed ‘heartbreaking’.

“I thought she was going over to visit him like she always did,” the actor said.

“And then once she was over there, it was immediately, ‘I want full custody of her,’ which was a shock to me.

“If [Klitschko] had come to me and said, ‘I think because of where you’re at right now and the struggles that you’re having, it would be good for her to be over here with me for a while’ ... [I] would’ve said: ‘OK, that makes sense. I get it. I’ll come there to visit,’”

“I was going to go work on myself, and I was going to get better, and when I got better then things could change and she could come to me and I could have my time,” she added.
