But,one day,I do hope to go back to the mental health field,I'm alot tougher now;) but,not heartless. And most people in the facility were drawn to me,not cause I'm great,but,I have so much compassion for people. So,I miss that part that the people there mostly relied on me to listen.

I will forever be a fan of Drew. Her endlessly sunny disposition despite all the darkness she grew up in and around is so inspiring. Her positivity is so contagious and it is no wonder that everyone who speaks about her has nothing but amazing things to say. Such a talent and such a vibrant personality, and just such a generous and caring soul. It is so obvious that her warm energy welcomes everyone in and makes them feel comfortable.

She used to ask me why we had to have it so tough and her cousins could break a toy and have a brand new one that same day. I always felt bad that she couldn't always have things she wanted even as a birthday or Christmas present. Later on, when she went off to college she actually thanked me for it all, for being around more rather than working harder to give her things. She still tells me that she feels she learned a lot more about life, budgeting, and being responsible than had I been more well off.

Totally agree

This touched me in a way I wasn't prepared for....I had a terrible childhood and real inner struggles in my 20's and 30's but I came out of the other side happy, healthy and whole. My past doesn't make me bitter, my present makes me joyful. Thank you for reminding me how lucky I am.

This was actually DURING STARDOM for her. She began very young. One of her biggest movies(E.T), was when she was around 7. By the time she lived on her own and was emancipated, she had already gone to rehab for substance abuse. She has TRULY gone through IT!😢

She was famous by 7 though. ET made her famous in 1982 when she was 6 or 7. She even hosted SNL at 7 years old. This is all happened while she was famous.

What scares me is that there is sooo much going on inside our children’s heads that don’t show up on the outside and we as parents have absolutely no clue to the damage that could be percolating inside their minds.

@@JazzyB9481 it's not that simple. You have to make yourself a safe person for your kids to talk to if you ever want them to actually share the deep things in their head. By the time I was in middle school I knew I couldn't talk to my mom about the things I was thinking, because there was so much judgement and shaming if I didn't behave exactly the way she wanted me to. By the time I was in high school I was leading two different lives - the one she saw, and the one my friends saw. There were so many things I was dealing with as a teenager that she will probably never know about, because by the time I was dealing with those things I knew the only true support system I had was my friends, because going to my mom meant more judgment, more shame, and likely losing privileges over stupid things. So yeah, theoretically the answer is "talk to them", but that only works if prior to that you've made yourself someone they can feel safe telling the truth to. Otherwise you're just going to get "I'm fine, I'm okay".

Imagine just looking out of your window and seeing Drew Barrymore standing there behind your gate staring, crying and talking to herself.

This is the definition of living life. Through all the crazy ups and downs

How could one not love Drew Barrymore; this was a delightful, real story.

I just love Drew. She's been my favorite celebrity for decades now. She's so great.

Drew is one of those miracle children. That came from utter craziness to really wanting to be a healthy productive individual. She is really something else. I believe she did inherit some very quirkiness from BOTH Jade and John but thats what makes Drew... Drew.👍💜👏🙏💜🙌💜🤗💜👏💜

Drew really added something missing in show business. Genuineness, being natural, and just her natural self. After everything, this is a real breath of fresh air.

This hit home for me, being a 16 year old kid struggling trying to do it by myself eventually ending up in a institution. (Knowing your story, I thought of you alot during my hardships. Always thinking 'If drew made it through hers, I can make it through mine') I never thought I'd be happy or get better but I did, I found out how strong I was and who I was in those years of struggle. I'm 25 now, engaged to my girlfriend and living near the beach. It's not perfect, sometimes I slip and fall back to old ways but it's so much better than it was.

When Drew got teary eyed about wishing/fantasizing about having a more bonding mother daughter dinner experience made me want to just give her a huge hug and let her know she is not alone in this…

Such a simple authentic human having beautiful experiences ❤❤❤❤ Love and blessings Drew...

Watching Drew in the bookstore made me kind of emotional because when I was a kid, I read her book…over and over. Little Girl Lost changed my life. I was a really rebellious kid and it just changed my whole perspective. If not for that book, I may not have had a relationship with my mom before she died. Beautiful segment.

@@libertygiveme1987 In 1984 my parents committed me when I was 14 years old because they wanted to go overseas and I couldn’t be taken out of school. It was easier for them to pay $3,500 a day to have me institutionalized for nine months. Why do I know the cost? Because my Mom threw it in my face for years, leaving out the part about them using a rehab as a babysitter. I got myself a child advocacy attorney and got myself out of there, then I left home and never went back. Sometimes you have to rescue yourself because nobody else is willing to

Drew is just so sweet, complex and rich in experience. I absolutely adore her and how open and vulnerable she is for the sake of others.

Gosh i Iove her...what a great human

She's lived such an incredible life. I could listen to her talk for hours.

Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?

I was named after Drew and this video explains to me why I was! she is so full of strength and courage.

Aww, I like wanna be Drews friend. She seems down to earth, real, and humble😎❤💖

She seems like the most likeable, relatable and down to earth rich/famous person. She's such an abnormal life and seems more grounded than most "normal" people I know irl.

I was about 14 years old when I read Drew's autobiography and I've felt a connection with her ever since... But nothing could have ever made me feel more connected to her than her sentiment about books, just then. Even if I didn't know her life story, that would have given it away, enough: I see your heart, Drew. Only a true reader knows this kind of reverence, and recognizes it for what it is. The most blissful, magical safe space. Reading has saved me, too. So, so many times.

This is why I love Drew! She’s just real!!!

I’m so glad Drew shared this part of her life.

So inspiring. Vulnerable and real. I like that she can talk about her painful past without living there in her mind. She can separate the past from the present and acknowledge the distance between the two.

If anyone hasn't seen Riding in Cars With Boys, please watch. She is AMAZING in it. 💜 loved this video.

Seeing her in the laundry room made me wonder if she gets manic? I love Drew 💕 she’s down to earth and genuine!

She’s so down to earth it’s refreshing

If I could ever met a famous person I would request Drew. She is so real and I love that about her.

I just love you Drew B. Your great . Bless you
