Two of Demi Moore<\/a><\/strong>‘s daughters recall how “jarring” it was when the actress relapsed into substance abuse a few years ago, saying it was “like a monster came.” <\/p>\n

The 56-year-old actress, who rose to fame in the ’80s, has battled substance abuse for decades and opens up about her struggles in her recently released memoir Inside Out<\/em><\/a>. She told the New York Times<\/em><\/a> in September that during the early days of her relationship with Ashton Kutcher<\/a><\/strong>, she suffered a miscarriage, after which she relapsed. She started drinking and abused Vicodin. In 2012, Ashton filed for divorce after seven years of marriage. That year, while partying with her and ex-husband Bruce Willis<\/a><\/strong>‘ daughter Rumer Willis<\/a><\/strong>, Demi suffered a seizure after smoking synthetic cannabis and inhaling nitrous oxide.<\/p>\n

Rumer and sisters Scout Willis<\/a><\/strong> and Tallulah Willis<\/a><\/strong> shunned their mother over her behavior, the newspaper said. Demi then went to rehab\u2014which was not her first stint.<\/p>\n

“It was like the sun went down, like a monster came,” Tallulah<\/strong>, 25, says on an upcoming episode on Jada Pinkett Smith<\/a><\/strong>‘s family’s Facebook Watch show  Red Table Talk<\/a><\/em>, while sitting next to her mom and Rumer<\/strong>. “I remember, there’s just the anxiety that would come up in my body when I could sense her eyes shutting a little bit more, the way she was speaking, or she would be a lot more affectionate with me if she wasn’t sober.”<\/p>\n

“It was jarring,” adds Rumer, 31.<\/p>\n

“It was very weird,” Tallulah says. “And there were moments where I would get angry and I recall being very upset and kind of treating her like a child, and speaking to her like a child.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

 Rumer and Tallulah have also battled alcoholism<\/a> and substance abuse<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Substance abuse has long been in Demi’s family. Her mother and stepfather were both alcoholics. At Red Table Talk<\/a><\/em>, Demi opens about her past estrangement from her mom Virginia Guynes<\/strong>, who died in 1998.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“When I distanced myself from my mother, it was completely justified,” she said. “I was protecting my children from her behavior. But there was a point where I kind of decided who she was, and in that moment, when I decided who she was, I realized that I limited her from ever becoming anything else, and that there was a part of my compassion and my humanity that had been lost and how could I expect my daughters to have compassion and hold the humanity for me if I didn’t recognize that from my mother?”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
