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

Actress doesn't know what happy home's like

Friday, 16 January 2009

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.
