Actress Drew Barrymore has spoken out about the devastating experience she had when her divorce from third husband Will Kopelman came through, citing becoming a single parent as one of the hardest parts. The couple were married for only four years, from 2012 to 2016.
During an interview with author Moon Zappa on her daytime talk show, Barrymore discussed how she struggled to cope with being a single mother to their daughters Olive, 12, and Frankie, 10. She revealed that the lack of traditional family dynamics made it difficult for her to adjust.
Barrymore reminisced about feeling jealous of other children who had parents who were readily available to pick them up when they were sick or needed something. In contrast, she often felt isolated and alone.
However, Barrymore has also spoken positively about growing up in a unconventional environment with her father Frank Zappa, whose infidelity led to her mother Gail’s struggles with mental health. The actress believes that this experience allowed her to discover who she was and explore different areas of herself.
Barrymore credits her estranged mother Jaid with giving her the freedom to experiment and figure out her identity. She has since reconciled with her mother after setting boundaries and prioritizing her own well-being.
The actress’ journey highlights the complexities of family dynamics and the importance of self-discovery in navigating unconventional circumstances.
