Drew Barrymore will not hide her troubled past from her daughters and thinks it's inevitable she will have to discuss her "bad choices" with them eventually.
The 40-year-old actress, who battled cocaine and alcohol abuse when she was 14, said she learned a lot from her "bad choices", reported People magazine.
"I'm not going to pretend to my daughters that I'm pure as the driven snow. Making bad decisions doesn't make you a bad person. It is how you learn to make better choices.
But the star doesn't want to embarrass her children because she is still mortified by her estranged mother Jaid's erotic book "World Class Lovers", which was released 20 years ago.
"(She) wrote a book on sex, and it was the most mortifying feeling in the world. So I know how a child feels when their parents put themselves out there too much, and I will never do that to my daughters. There are some things about your parents you just don't need to know.
