Marriage is not easy, and a lot of the time, people end up getting a divorce. Unfortunately, this happened to Megan Fox’s parents. No matter your age, a divorce between your parents can turn your whole world upside down, and it did for Fox.
The “Transformers” actor was only 3 when her parents divorced. After the divorce, her dad was hardly in the picture, and her mom and stepdad became extremely strict, per Elle. She said, “I was grounded for all of my childhood. Not most—all.” Of course, being a teenager, you’re bound to get in trouble with your parents every once in a while, but for Fox, it seemed like it was almost every day. She recalled to GQ how she was never allowed to visit friends at their homes and vice versa. And because Fox’s sister was much older than her — 13 years, to be exact — she spent her time alone.

The absence of her father didn’t help the loneliness either. Megan shared with GQ that she missed her dad a lot. Even as she grew up, she has reflected on how much her parent’s divorce has affected her. She said, “It’s also a feeling of not being acceptable, and wanting to be. Of course, I think that has something to do with my parents’ divorce and not seeing my dad, and always feeling rejected. You don’t ever really get past that.”
