Jennifer Aniston had a difficult childhood as her parents got divorced when she was nine years old, and her relationship with her mother was strained. Her mother, Nancy Dow, reportedly tried to harm her daughter's success and criticized her for her looks. Jennifer left home to distance herself from her mother and later stopped talking to her for over a decade. However, in 2005, they made peace, and Jennifer forgave both of her parents. She talked about growing up in an unstable household and witnessing unkind behavior, which made her prioritize kindness towards herself and others. Despite the hardships, Jennifer achieved success in her career as an actress.
