Just ask “Modern Family’s"Ariel Winter.
While growing up on television can be difficult, her family life off-screen has been equally problematic.
In fact, Winter toldThe Hollywood Reporterthat she often felt oversexualized because of her mother’s actions.
People thought I was 24 when I was 12.
She and her mom, however, remain estranged.
Workman had a message for her daughter: “It’s time to fix your relationship with your mom.
Every girl needs her mom and every mom needs her daughter.”
“I wear what I like and no one should fault me for that.”
She is also making her mental health a priority.
“For me, therapy is so important.
I never want to quit therapy.
I feel like people are never ‘cured’ [with] therapy.
It’s not a ‘cured’ thing, because you’re not going in sick.
You’re just going in,” according to an interview withTeen Vogue.
And as for her childhood, Winter says that despite the hardship, she wouldn’t change a thing.
“It made me who I am today,” Winter toldThe Hollywood Reporter.
Candidly sharing with the outlet, “I still respect the people that hurt me.”
