Oliver Hudson Opens Up About Childhood Trauma Stemming from Goldie Hawn’s Lifestyle
Oliver had a revelation during a week-long course at the Hoffman Institute, where he focused on unpacking the patterns imposed by his parents and learning about “negative love.” This experience was a perspective shifter, particularly in relation to his father Bill, who separated from Goldie in 1982.
Oliver and his sister Kate have discussed the challenges they faced after their parents’ divorce, feeling abandoned due to their father’s absence. Despite this, Oliver can still see the positives in their relationship.
He reflected, “When I was with him it was incredible. He was present, paying attention to me, engaging in activities like football, basketball, fishing, and beach outings. He was there but never really there, you know?”
Goldie, on the other hand, has emphasized her efforts to nurture a close bond with her children by showing love, paying attention, listening, being present, caring, and focusing on them.
She expressed, “Mothers are everything. I consider myself everything to them, and they are everything to me.”
