Lourdes Leon talked about the not-so-easy relationship with his mother, Madonna.
In an interview with Interview, Lourdes shared her experience as Madonna's first daughter. She said she sometimes felt overwhelmed.
"I think my mother saw all the children of celebrities and said, 'My children will not be like this.' I also think that where parents pay for their things, then it gives them the power to control your life. ”
Lourdes added that Madonna "is very controlling".
"She has controlled me all my life. "I had to be completely independent of her as soon as I finished high school."
Lourdes sought financial independence at a young age and reportedly paid for her college education and later rented an apartment in Brooklyn. Experience with her own money made her appreciate her mother more.
"I did not fully understand until I realized the importance of empowerment and what it means to be a woman," she said, adding that she admires her mother for always empowering other women and for always being one step ahead. .
"She is the hardest working man I have ever known."
Madonna has also previously spoken about motherhood.
"I had this ridiculous idea that when kids grow up, they learn to take care of themselves and it gets easier. But in fact the older they get, the more challenging it becomes because now they are getting older and they really need instructions, ”she told People in 2017.
She admitted that she is a strict mother. "I am responsible! I'm the boss. I am what I say 'no'. I accept this role, "she said.
In addition to Lourdes, Madonna is the mother of Roço, 21, David, 15, Mercy, 15, and twins Estere and Stella, 9.
