Sandra Bullock is reflecting on the  really dark time  surrounding her ex-husband Jesse James' 2010 cheating scandal.

The actress told Jennifer Aniston in an Interview magazine chat, published Tuesday, about  trying to grieve  the end of her marriage.

She explained that filming  Gravity  with George Clooney in 2011 was extra  meaningful  because the role as an astronaut stuck in space  was paralleling  Bullock's place in life.

She felt she was  in a locked box by [her]self with no one to talk to for nine hours a day … do[ing] a lot of thinking.

At the time of her headline-making breakup, the  Practical Magic 2  star was notably  raising and protecting a little smurf,  her son, Louis, whom she adopted in late 2009.

She went on to describe the way she hid his presence from paparazzi, while joking that she didn't want  Child Protective Services … [to] come after  her.

 I was just cleaning out the closet, and I found these hockey bags for stuffing clothes in for travel,  Bullock recalled.  When the poop hit the fan for me … we know what that is, I realized I had to get out of the house because the paparazzi were going to descend, and no one knew I had a newborn.

 I put him in his car carrier, put it in the hockey bag and zipped the hockey bag around him,  she continued.  Then I carried the hockey bag to the car, as though I was just carrying any random hockey bag.
