Tatum, how did you survive that childhood? Seems only McKenzie Phillips' upbringing was worse. So very glad I have this book, as it demonstrates just how loathesome Ryan O'Neal really was -- and still is -- even though he refuses to admit the damage he has done to 3 out of the 4 children he produced with various women. Keep writing, Tatum. Perhaps it is time for a screenplay?
I am thrilled that I found this book. For years, okay decades, I have wondered "what is wrong with Tatum." Then I happened to see a tidbit on TV this year where she was trying to reunite with her father, the loathesome Ryan O'Neal. My eyes were opened when I found and read this book. Tatum has explained her life beautifully. And now I hope she will be able to return to her acting career and find a sober, clear, honest, sincere future that everyone can admire. And be careful of the men in her life. Don't settle for less than quality. Do everything to keep those beautiful children away from addictions. I have ordered her second book but I know she had to revise some of the truthful events to appease her mentally-unstable father. How sad. But she is talented and still young. Prayers that she will continue to be sober and productive.Loved this book!
