Billie Lourdis reflecting on her relationship with her late mother Carrie Fisher and how it influences her current role as a parent to her sonKingston Fisher.
The actress, 29, appeared on Monday’s episode of theNew Daypodcast and opened up about the “pressure” she faced as a young child taking care of her famous mother and how her experience with Fisher taught her “what not to do” today with her 1-year-old son.
“My main job when [Fisher] was alive was taking care of her and making sure she was okay,” Lourd said in part of the conversation with host Claire Bidwell Smith. “I was her main support, and I was 7, for a lot of the time, and that was really hard and that’s why I grew up really fast because I was her best friend. I was her mother, I was her kid, I was her everything. And that’s one of the things I’m learning not to do with my kid.”
The mom of one continued, “There’s a lot of things that my mom taught me to do and then there’s a lot that is, honestly it might be more valuable, of what not to do. And that’s one of the things that I will not do to my son is put this pressure on him that I had on me.”
