Four months ago, Garner gave birth to a son who was named for her father. She also had an eight-year-old daughter. In a recent interview with the webshow Like it or Not, she talked about the difficulties of life as a parent and an activist. "I’m struggling right now from the stress of everything," she said, "because the system, it beats you down."
