Since viewers were first introduced to Parenthood's Kristina Braverman (Monica Potter) five years ago, the Berkeley, Calif., super-mom has been through a lot: Her young son Max (Max Burkholder) was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome — and his treatment was derailed when his uncle, Crosby (Dax Shepard), slept with his behavioral aide; she had breast cancer and went through surgery, chemotherapy, and a very scary septic shock; and she ran for mayor of Berkeley, eager to enact change, but headed into the race as the overwhelming underdog.


But through it all, Potter her has portrayed Kristina with genuine emotion, never heading into overdramatic territory. Below, Potter, a real-life mom of three who was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance, opens up about how she's gotten through 10 particularly emotional scenes that have had viewers crying right alongside her.
