Stage Parents, Toxic Socialization, and Poor Life Skills
For the FULL story, preorder my memoir “Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything” here: https://bit.ly/semiwelladjusted Stereotyped as living vicariously through their children, stage parents are demanding and competitive, prizing their child as the best talent in the industry. When does a healthy parent-child relationship become harmful and controlling? Whose dream is it to pursue Hollywood if the child can hardly write their name yet? What happens to the parent after the child star becomes an independent adult? Alyson presents fifteen questions every parent should ask before getting into the industry.
