Part 3/6:
Reflecting on her past, Barrymore speaks about how her unconventional upbringing shaped her current perspectives as a parent. Growing up with her mother, Jaid Barrymore, and her father, actor John Drew Barrymore, who she emancipated from at the young age of 14, left an indelible mark on her. She shares poignant memories of yearning for the familial support that many of her peers enjoyed, particularly those moments in school when children would call upon their parents to pick them up when unwell. "I was so jealous of those kids who would call and be like, 'Mom, Dad, come pick me up.'" These sentiments illustrate the emotional void she experienced, contrasting sharply with the love and care she seeks to provide for her own daughters, Olive and Frankie.
