ANGELINA JOLIE has lavished praise on single mothers, insisting she wouldn't be able to cope without the support of boyfriend BRAD PITT and their crew of hired help.
The Oscar winner has two adopted children with Pitt - MADDOX, five, and ZAHARA, two - as well as their biological daughter SHILOH, who was born in May (06).
She says, "Well, we have the finances to have support, and that's the truth of it. Any single woman on her own with kids... God bless her, because that is hard.
"I have Brad helping me and we have a lot of people, even just at airports, helping us get through. We do have a lot of support, so we're very lucky."
