Demi and Bruce went on to have a third daughter, Tallulah, but their relationship was suffering. Demi notes "We were disconnected from each other emotionally. Our life was all about logistics surrounding the kids, and while Bruce was always proud of me doing well I don't know that he was always comfortable with the attention that came with it." Demi Moore had a very broken and dysfunctional family because of whom she started early with sex, drugs, and alcohol. However, she learned all the lessons, changed her habits and focused on becoming the best paid actress of her time.

Naturally, I was aware she was controversial at times, that she had married and divorced Bruce Willis, and then married Ashton Kutcher- a relationship that came under a great deal of scrutiny in the tabloids. In other words, I knew the simple basics and that's about it. Survivor is a good word to describe Demi. She had a pretty messed up childhood, has been thru 3 divorces, has experienced both box office successes and disappointments, has had periods of estrangement from different family members, and battled addiction. And yet, she's still standing. She seems to be in a pretty good place right now and I would imagine writing this memoir proved to be a cathartic experience. Don’t bother. The blurb says that Moore is brutally honest. And she is. It is just that we already knew her faults. Yes, I agree that she had a horrendous childhood, which led to making bad life choices including addictions that led to her daughters not speaking to their mother for a couple of years. But I confess, I wanted dirt on the men in her life, she really only dishes out complaints on her last husband. And, yes I am judging when I say that it was weird that she considered him a co-parent to her girls when he was just a few years older than her oldest teenage daughter. Being with a younger man, I say, good for her, involving them in her children’s’ lives, not so good, at least in my mind. The book reads as a here is a “my side of the story” memoir. Not to mention that this is a poorly written book and plain old boring. I could only recommend this one if you are a young woman struggling with self -esteem as a “this is what you do not do” book.Our core memories shape our realities, which are presented as simply a reflection of our perceptions accumulated and understood over time. Our personalities are shaped by memories which influence our response to what we perceive as or experiences day-to-day. When Joy and Sadness go missing, everything goes haywire. I’m sorry Demi was raped - age 15. She could bitch all she needed to about the slimy asshole as far as I was concerned. Tell the world what she learn: Seriously, this film was literally ALWAYS on cable, and for some reason (I think it was partly its theme song, which I still stan today), I couldn’t ever NOT watch it, even though I had the most tenuous grasp of its plot points. I had no idea that Demi's early years were so tumultuous and fractured. It was certainly an unconventional and chaotic childhood, with parents that lived on the thrill of the high drama of their love-hate relationship. Constantly on the move to "escape" problems. Never settled. Jumping from one set of issues to the next. I'm sure this constant angst and doubt about her self worth and never quite belonging anywhere helped Demi hone her acting skills from an early age. Being the new girl at school repeatedly from repeated moves, Demi had to rely on her instinct to work out how best to fit in. To be the chameleon who could blend seamlessly into her surroundings.

We get LOTS OF BLAME, ACCUSATIONS, AND JUDGEMENTS! I wondered if Demi could hear herself? I wondered if this was the book she wanted her children to read? I wondered why I was reading it? The family's frequent moving and adjusting to new environments - as the Guynes' pinged around New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, and Washington - had a profound effect on Demi. She writes, "It's possible that all the adapting I had to do primed me to become an actress. It was my job to portray whatever character I thought would be most popular in every new school, in every new town." Zach was a teenage boy who was schizophrenic. His character grew a little bit throughout the story because he really learned to face the voices inside of his head. He learned that they would go away if he could overcome them. Zach really learned to face his fears throughout the story. After Demi and her daughters healed their rift, they had a wonderful Christmas in Idaho, complete with everyone's cats and dogs - and matching pajamas Demi bought as gifts. Now, at the age of 56, Demi is stronger than ever, and poised for the next phase of her life. I am not writing this because I hate emotions. I value emotions. Emotions are the feeders not only of passion with all its disruptions to daily living, but of imagination and imagination’s creative urges. Emotions are where playfulness meets productivity. Originality is the result.Demi writes a good deal about her relationship with Ashton: the early euphoria; their decision to wed; a miscarriage when Demi was almost six months pregnant; their attempts to conceive again, including fertility treatments and IVF; incorporating threesomes into their sex life; and their eventual divorce. Problem with the film: the film conflates joy with happiness and joy with love. These are not the same thing.

While she goes into warts-and-all descriptions of her young life, she is more circumspect in describing her marriage to Bruce Willis and Ashton Kushner. For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight – or the headlines. After Demi made GI Jane, she learned that her mother was dying from lung cancer and a brain tumor. Demi went to stay with her mom in Farmington, New Mexico, and came to 'an understanding' with Ginny before she died. During this time, Bruce and Demi ended their union, though they continued to co-parent successfully. To provide a stable home for her girls, Demi decided to put her career on hold and become a full-time mom. Demi settled into her home in Idaho, took care of her daughters, and pledged not to use alcohol, drugs, or food to get through her divorce. Much of the information regarding her childhood and upbringing was news to me. I didn’t even know she had once had a role on a popular soap opera early in her career. Before long, Demi had captured my rapt attention as I digested all this information.Things only got worse when Demi started using Vicodin, and the actress made up her mind to detox all by herself. She remembers, "It's one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life. Going off opiates is agony. It's unimaginably excruciating. You can't sleep because your body hurts too much. It's like the worst flu you ever had times a hundred." If this book were to be published into a movie actors and actresses would play the part I don’t know any actors and actresses that can’t play the part all they need is to be able to keep a constant acting role but otherwise they all can do it all.
