Though her childhood days were quite hectic, she slowly got well and is now a Hollywood superstar. Barrymore’s mother, Jaid Barrymore had a hand in her deteriorating mentality and health, but before it was too late for her, the Screen actress emancipated herself from her parents at the early age of 14.
“I was so confused about sexuality because my mom went and dated my boyfriends.”
