Drew Barrymore discusses family dynamics after challenging marriage

Drew Barrymore recently discussed her family dynamics and the impact of her past marriage on her life. On her talk show, she opened up about her experiences growing up without strong parental support. She shared her feelings following her separation from ex-husband Will Kopleman. Barrymore described the separation as "devastating," noting that it was hard for her to recover. She mentioned that she had hoped for a traditional family life, something she did not experience growing up. Barrymore has two daughters, Olive and Frankie, with Kopleman.
