Cynthia Erivo is opening up about her nonexistent relationship with her father.

“I was sixteen when he left me, alone, in a London Underground station after an argument about a transit pass,” Erivo, 38, wrote in her memoir, Simply More: A Book for Anyone Who Has Been Told They’re Too Much. “When he told me he didn’t want to be in our lives anymore, I stood there in shock.”

Erivo felt nothing except “confusion and quiet,” she wrote in the book, released on Tuesday, November 18. “Then, I walked away.”

She “cried so hard” while walking through the train station that she went in the wrong direction.

“Still in tears, I corrected my course,” she wrote. “Just as I made my way to the right platform, there he was. He was in front of me, walking straight in my direction. I held my breath.”
