Her relationship with her actor completely altered her and she emotionally distanced herself from her family, as she herself explains in her memoirs.
Demi Moore has explained in her memoir that her relationship with Ahston Kutcher totally separated her from her three daughters. "Ashton's addiction and codependency was so devastating because he emotionally cut me off from them," she said.
In fact, the actress has confessed that her state of mind was totally devastated at that time: "I woke up in the morning and thought: 'I don't know what to do. How do I get out of this day?' He was in so much pain, both physical and emotional, that he could barely function."
Demi Moore has commented that her relationship with Ashton Kutcher was very intense. It was like being 20 again for her. He was 25 and she was 40. "When I met Ashton, it almost felt like a replay, like I could go back in time and experience what it was like to be young with him," she said.
Demi Moore's daughters speak
Her daughters, during an interview on Red Table Talk, have explained how they experienced the relationship with her mother. Rummer Willis, the oldest of them, explained what happened: "Scout and Tallulah had very different experiences than I had. They didn't talk to her for three years."
Tallulah was especially hurt by episodes of alcohol and drug abuse by Moore. "It's like the sun has set and a monster is coming. I remember being very upset and treating her like a child and talking to her like a child. She was not the mother we grew up with," she said.
