Drew Barrymore Still Financially Supports Her Mother

Drew Barrymore still financially supports her mother. The 'Blended' actress was emancipated from Jaid Barrymore when she was 14 years old but wouldn't be able to "function" if she knew her parent was "in need" so ensures she is taken care of. Writing in her new memoir 'Wildflower', she revealed: "I still support her -- I must know that she is taken care of or I simply cannot function.” Though she has little contact with her mother and remained estranged from her father, actor John Barrymore, for most of her life, Drew is still grateful to her parents and thankful for how they shaped her into the person she is today.
