Drew Barrymore ‘cannot wait’ until her mom is gone, says she can't 'grow' while she is 'on this planet'
foxnews.comDrew Barrymore opened up about her relationship with her estranged mother, Jaid Barrymore, during a new interview. Barrymore, 48, became emancipated from her mother at the age of 14 and struck out to live on her own.The actress previously told Jeannette McCurdy, who titled her own memoir "I'm Glad my Mom Died," she couldn't speak all of her truths because "certain people are alive." The actress said she doesn't have the luxury of her mother being gone in the same way as McCurdy and Brooke Shields, whom she's also interviewed. "All their moms are gone, and my mom’s not," Barrymore told Vulture. "And I’m like, ‘Well, I don’t have that luxury.’But I cannot wait.
I don’t want to live in a state where I wish someone to be gone sooner than they’re meant to be so I can grow. I actually want her to be happy and thrive and be healthy.
But I have to f---ing grow in spite of her being on this planet." Within an hour, Barrymore expressed regret over what she said. "I dared to say it, and I didn’t feel good," the "Charlie's Angels" star explained. "I do care.
I’ll never not care. I don’t know if I’ve ever known how to fully guard, close off, not feel, build the wall up." The interview, part of which was conducted before Mother's Day, also featured a separate conversation with Barrymore that happened at a later date.
