At the time, Rumer was living with Demi and Ashton while they were trying to conceive, she says:
"[I] couldn't stand the idea...I think also, when she wanted to have another baby and then it wasn't happening, and there was so much focus on that, it was like 'Oh, well we're not enough," she adds.
In her memoir, Demi reveals she suffered a miscarriage when was six months along in her pregnancy.
She admits to relapsing as struggling to deal with feeling "lost, empty, desperate, confused," after her miscarriage.

Rumer says she was very closed off about her mother's miscarriage and was so upset about the whole situation that she moved out of her mother's house.
However, after finding pictures of Demi's pregnancy, Rumer realised how insensitive she had been, she explains:
"I saw how big her stomach was, and I was like, 'Oh my god, I was so insensitive. I never once went to you and said, 'I'm so sorry' [or] 'Are you okay?'"

Since recovery from her relapse and ending her marriage, she has reconnected with her daughters and they have once again managed to forge a strong bond.
