Earlier this year, Mickey opened up about her 4-year-old son's special needs and how raising a child who can't talk or walk has wreaked havoc on her mental health. The 37-year-old actress says her son has developmental issues, but doctors are still not clear about what is wrong with him.

"At this moment in time, Akira is nonverbal, he is not walking, he is hard of hearing in both ears, has hypotonia, and global delays," she wrote in an essay from Romper.com.

She continued, "My experience of motherhood has been a rollercoaster of emotions and mental health challenges. I’ve been diagnosed with postpartum anxiety and postpartum OCD." According to Sumner, the baby was born at Sting's Malibu estate, and after a difficult birth was forced to rush her boy to a hospital after he was not latching on and turned yellow. As you can imagine, seeing her tiny baby in an incubator hooked up to wires and sensors was a horrific process.

"I watched myself move toward the precipice of madness — I could see the edge of losing my mind, I thought, ‘They’re gonna have to take me away. They’re gonna have to strap me down, put me away and tranquilize me.’ I was so close, it looked so inviting, and then I heard a voice inside my head: ‘You’re a mother now. You can’t go anywhere. You have to stay,'" Mickey said.

Adding, "On days where my anxiety creeps up on me, when I worry about his future, this is what I always come back to -- People feel good in his presence. He is like sunshine. My tiny mighty sun."

The divorce case is ongoing.
