Drew Barrymore Reflects on Parenting Challenges and Lessons from Her Childhood

The actress shares emotional insights about raising her daughters after divorce and her efforts to create a stable family life.

Drew Barrymore described raising her daughters without a traditional family dynamic as 'devastating' and a long recovery process following her 2016 divorce from Will Kopelman.
She emphasized how her tumultuous childhood, including legal emancipation at age 14, shaped her commitment to providing stability for her daughters, Olive and Frankie.
Barrymore recalled her jealousy of classmates who could rely on their parents, contrasting it with her own experiences of parental absence during her youth.
She expressed gratitude for parenting advice that helped her better connect with her children, particularly during challenging moments.
Barrymore noted that her co-parenting relationship with Kopelman has improved significantly over the years, with both prioritizing their daughters' well-being.
