Drew Barrymore blames childhood for her ill-fated love life

Hollywood star Drew Barrymore has blamed her rocky love life on her unconventional childhood insisting she never learned about real relationships as she was growing up.

Barrymore, famously got hooked on drugs at an early age, smoking pot at 10, before entering rehab at 13.

She later married and divorced twice before dating a string of famous lovers, and the actress insists she struggled to settle down because of lessons learnt from her famous parents, John and Jaid Barrymore, who split when she was born.

"I have never really understood how I should feel or behave in a relationship. I didn’t have the kind of childhood that would have given me any sort of perspective on what a happy home or relationship would feel like”, Barrymore said.

"You can’t live your life blaming your failures on your parents. You’re dealt the cards you’re dealt. I realised it was a waste of time to be angry at my parents and feel sorry for myself," she added.

"I used to pull a lot of emotion from all the stuff with my family, but I have been much more objective about my childhood and my relationship with my mother in these last few years. But I won’t deny that the baggage was there at some point”, Barrymore said.

Sexual love secondary to Drew Barrymore

Twice divorced Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore, who is rumoured to have rekindled her romance with actor Justin Long, says that sexual love is secondary to her.

"I have spent a lot of time in my life dedicating myself to love or the pursuit of love or the understanding of love. But for the last few years, my life just hasn’t been about that for me," said Barrymore.

"Sexual love is secondary to me right now. My life is very refreshing without it and I am trying to understand and relish it," she added.

Drew Barrymore misses own film promo
