Drew Barrymore: I don’t know how to behave in relationships

Actress doesn't know what happy home's like

Drew Barrymore stars in new movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua

Drew Barrymore admits she struggles to hold down long-term relationships.

The actress, who split from Justin Long, 30, last summer, thinks it's to do with her upbringing.

‘I have never really understood how I should feel or behave in a relationship,’ she says.

‘I didn’t have the kind of childhood or family life that would have given me any perspective on what a happy home or relationship would feel like.

'So I haven’t had as much success in my relationships as I would have liked.’

But Drew, 33, isn’t looking for a new man.

‘I’ve been single for months now and my priorities have changed so much,’ she tells the Daily Mirror.

‘I’ve turned my attention towards my friends and the causes I believe in.

'It’s been about learning who I am, not through a man but for myself.'

Drew dated Justin for ten months.
