Heartbreaking truth behind why celebrities cut ties with families after stardom

Behind the fame and glamour, there lies a truth darker than many would expect, and even fewer stars are willing to reveal.

For many, the road to fame offers little in the way of relationships. In Hollywood, where the lines of control and manipulation become blurred, some stars make the painful choice to walk away from their families, to avoid the emotional and psychological abuse — and to keep their mental health intact to work.

According to People, Britney Spears public fallout with her family has been one of the most heartbreaking celebrity stories.

After the end of the 13 years of her father’s controlling conservator-ship, Spears revealed, “They broke me” and downplayed the emotional and psychological trauma to reclaim her relationships, saying she had emotional ties for a reason: to heal.

E! News reported Lindsay Lohan was able to completely detach from her parents after years of family exploitation and drama.

Once fame had reconciled family ties during that period, Fletcher was able to downplay the family issues, leading to a public breakdown that self-preservation had to become the only way to manage the amplified issues her family had reconciled.

Even one of the most powerful voices in the world, Adele, mentioned in interviews that she had been estranged from her father for a big part of her life.

The emotional lack, she noted, had a big impact not only on her music but on her wonderful independence as well.

According to Vanity Fair, Megan Fox shared how her family had begun to judge her and she felt misunderstood after her rise to fame. Within her family, Fox said fame brought not togetherness but separation.
