Goldie Hawn’s son, Oliver Hudson, recently opened up about the impact of his mother’s lifestyle on his childhood, revealing that it led to feelings of ‘trauma’ and a sense of being ‘unprotected’ at times.

During an episode of his podcast, ‘Sibling Revelry,’ Oliver shared insights from a course he took with the Hoffman Institute, describing it as a ‘really powerful thing’ that helped him understand and break through negative patterns learned in childhood. He explained how the course focused on recognizing unhealthy love patterns and building emotional resilience.

Despite Hawn being his primary caregiver and spending a significant amount of time with him, Oliver confessed that he experienced ‘almost the most trauma’ from his mother. He expressed feeling unprotected during times when Hawn was working, away, or involved with new boyfriends, emphasizing that his perception as a child without a father influenced his need for her presence.

Oliver’s reflections also highlighted the impact of the course in fostering a deeper appreciation for Hawn’s efforts to be there for him within the limitations of her circumstances. He emphasized the process of forgiveness and compassion towards parents, recognizing that they often repeat the challenges they faced with their own parents.

Through this journey of self-discovery, Oliver gained a new perspective on his father’s absence, understanding the profound impact of his own grandfather’s departure at a young age. The experience provided him with a profound sense of enlightenment and compassion towards his parents.

Oliver’s candid revelations offer a glimpse into the complexities of family dynamics and the lasting effects of childhood experiences. His journey of introspection and healing serves as a reminder of the power of self-awareness and forgiveness in shaping our understanding of parental influence.
