The Valley cast member also re-posted a quote about taking "distance" in her relationship.
Since announcing her separation from her husband of just under five years, Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright is getting in some quality time with a special man in her life: her son, Cruz Michael Cauchi.
The Valley cast member shared the news of her split from the Vanderpump Rules alum during a solo episode of their podcast, When Reality Hits, on February 29.
"Jax and I are taking time apart, and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health," Brittany said. "I won’t get into too many details right now because this is still very hard to talk about and I’m taking things one day at a time."
In the days that have followed, Brittany has shared some insight into what went wrong in her marriage to the former SUR bartender, and she's also offered a look at what her life looks like today. Find out what she revealed about her special bond with her son by scrolling below.

Just a few days after confirming her separation, Brittany took to her Instagram Stories to share a quote about taking "distance" from the Instagram account, @HerPsychology.
"Distance is the best response to disrespect. Don't react or argue," the quote read. "Save yourself further anxiety, see your worth, withdraw your energy, and continue your life."
Brittany re-posted the image on her Stories, and simply added an "Amen" message alongside the quote.

The same day that Brittany announced her separation, Jax chatted with Page Six about the latest in their marriage.
"I mean this is not divorce, but just taking some time apart, just trying to re-asses our situation," he told the outlet. "And we have a child involved, and we want to just do what's best for our kid."
Brittany reacted to Jax's comments the following day.
"Listen, I love Jax so much. I really do,” she told TMZ on March 1. “I just want the best for me and my son at this point. So that’s like my main focus. But for sure, if he switches some things and changes some things about his life, then maybe we can get back together. But right now, I don’t know.”
The Valley premieres on Tuesday, March 19 at 9/8c on Bravo. Stream episodes the next day on Peacock.
