The Married With Children actress made the sad revelation on Tuesday’s episode of the MeSsy podcast that she cohosts with Jamie-Lynn Sigler.

“Is that an excuse for not feeling?” Applegate said. “Because you know that someone’s gonna go? And you’ve said your goodbyes?”

In 2013, Applegate was featured on the genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are?, where she explained that her father had moved to the Big Sur region of California when he left. He appeared alongside her in some of the scenes, as she learned about his side of the family.
