Roxeanne Hazes said she has had no contact with her mother, Rachel Hazes, for a long time and has come to believe that not every family relationship needs to be preserved at all costs. She said the estrangement has changed how she views family and relationships. She also said that anger over her father’s death has given way to homesickness for him, after a period in which she felt she had to work through that anger. She described recent years as a period of major personal changes, including a reconciliation, marriage and a new stage in her music career.
