Over the years, stars including Jennette McCurdy and Macaulay Culkin have discussed hitting rock bottom with their parents.

amid issues with his parents. “People assume that I’m crazy, or a kook, or damaged. Weird. Cracked. And up until the last year or two, I haven’t really put myself out there at all. So I can understand that,” Culkin toldin March 2020. “It’s also like, OK, everybody, stop acting so freaking shocked that I’m relatively well-adjusted." After legally removing his mother and father from his trust fund as a teen, the actor chose to hire an executor for his finances.

"My old man died suddenly a few years ago. Unfortunately, we got in a fight about a month earlier and I never reconciled with him or even had a chance to say goodbye. So for me, every Father’s Day has become very tricky because there’s a lot pain," Dwayne wrote via Instagram at the time. He added:"To my guys out there, if your old man is still around — consider it a blessing. Even if you and your dad are working thru some complicated s—t. I’ve been there and I understand. But do your best to reconcile and get that drama behind you and get right with your dad. It’s important. Because the alternative is regret and I don’t want that for you."In March 2023, Cole revealed he was estranged from his mother, Melanie Wright, after ups and downs throughout his childhood.

“And as I grew older, in my case the court had to step in and send my brother and I towards my father, who’s an incredible guy," he continued. “But that selfishness is something the legal system also observed, and said that she was unfit, and I think as I have aged I’ve looked back on a lot of circumstances of that entire environment and I see a person that grapples with mental illness, drug abuse, but primarily narcissism.
