“You’re ugly and you have a big nose,” she heard from her mother every day
Jennifer Aniston (50), now a well-known actress and a stunning woman, had a tough childhood with a mother who constantly criticized her and inflicted severe traumas.
Nancy Dow, Jennifer’s mother, was also an actor, but she didn’t know how to deal with a little girl, despite her best intentions.
Jennifer Aniston has always been aware of the growing troubles in her parents’ marriage, which eventually led to their divorce.
She remained in the custody of her mother, who continually chastised her, pointing out all of her physical flaws: her eyes were too wide apart, her nose was too large, and she had gained a few pounds throughout puberty.
Jennifer also grew up believing that she was “terrible” because she did not manage at school and did not integrate into the team owing to a lack of self-confidence.
He had a really attractive mother at home, but he couldn’t physically or psychologically resemble her. Jennifer didn’t have a close relationship with her father, so she was at the mercy of her mother’s erratic behavior.
Jen responded angrily to her mother’s remarks one day, but Nancy laughed in her face, so the young woman learned to be silent and accept criticism silently.
Jennifer Aniston soon discovered that her scholastic issues were due to dyslexia, a reading disability that prevented her from effectively understanding written materials.
She discovered she wasn’t as horrible as she had imagined, and she began to question whether her mother’s judgments were fair.
Jen began to acquire confidence in herself after her first gig in Hollywood, especially since she had cosmetic surgery on her nose.
Her mother, on the other hand, was not overjoyed. Jennifer Aniston’s popularity on “Friends” was enormous, but her joy was clouded by interviews with her mother, who continued to attack her in public.
Jen was surrounded by her classmates, particularly Courtney Cox, and she swore she would never speak to her mother again. She was not there at Brad Pitt’s wedding.
After years of counseling, the traumas gradually faded, and Jennifer now believes that living with her mother, as difficult as it was, helped her grow into the strong woman she is today.
“Because she loved me and wanted the best for me, my mother spoke to me in this manner. She wasn’t trying to be mean; she just didn’t realize she was causing me anguish that would only be resolved after years of treatment. She was the way she was because of her upbringing “Jennifer Aniston spoke to Elle magazine about it.
