Tallulah Willis shares heartfelt essay on her father’s diagnosis and growing up in a spotlight
about growing up as the child of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore and what it’s been like dealing with her father’s diagnosis. It is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a difficult read, both because of how sad it all is and because it’s a pretty clear reminder of the damage that can be caused when we as a society treat real people like they aren’t real people.
Because of that, she says her reaction to her father’s “decline in recent years” had been mostly “a share of avoidance and denial that I’m not proud of,” choosing to focus on treating her eating disorder and giving her “central dad-feeling canal an epidural” so she wouldn’t feelabout his condition—which was still a mystery at the time.
But Willis ends the piece on a sweet note, saying that it “wasn’t easy growing up in such a famous family” and that she struggled to “find a patch of light through the long shadows” cast by her parents, but, she says, “more and more often I feel like I’m standing in that light.”
