Jamie Lee Curtis gives credit where it’s due in a piece for The Huffington Post, where she encouraged mothers to “wake up and smell the denial.” Curtis claims not to live in a glass house but calls a spade a spade when she writes:
“The sad paths of the three most popular young women — privileged but from varying backgrounds, talented, beautiful and spectacular — have ended in prison, rehab and mental illness. I hope their mothers are worried sick and wondering, “What could I have done differently?” And our culture should be asking the same question too.
“What we need to do is look long and hard at our part in all this. Where did our children get the message that the rules don’t apply to them? And where did we, the Mothers, get the message that if we abdicate our responsibilities as Mothers, the Universe will do our job for us? And it does, but without any of the love and tenderness and compassion that we could have given, along with the lessons.”
Rock on, Jamie.
