Children Quote by Drew Barrymore
“I didnt have the kind of childhood or family life that would have given me any perspective on what a happy home or relationship would feel like. So I havent had as much success in my relationships as I would have liked. You cant live your life blaming your failures on your parents and what they did or didnt do for you. Youre dealt the cards that youre dealt. I realized it was a waste of time to be angry at my parents and feel sorry for myself.”
