Jewel doesn't want to make amends with her mother after she accused her of "embezzling" her $100m fortune almost 20 years ago.
Jewel doesn't want to make amends with her mother.
The 49-year-old singer accused Lenedra Carroll of embezzling her multi-million dollar fortune some years ago and now she has explained that she "doesn't have a relationship" with her mother at all, nor does she believe in "forgiveness" at all.
She told People: "Our relationship messed with my head so much. It was so much psychological abuse that I was afraid to let a therapist get close to me. But I don't personally believe in forgiveness. I don't have to have a relationship with my mom to heal. I don't have to hear her say 'I'm sorry.' Not all of us get the storybook ending, and that's OK. We can still heal."
The 'Foolish Games' singer explained that achieving good mental heal is a "side effect" of things working in harmony and is determined to remain "curious" about her own self-discovery, and wants others to do the same.
She said: "For me, mental health and emotional well-being is a side effect of our three spheres working in harmony. And suffering is a side effect if they aren't. It's about being curious about ourselves and discovery. It's about being aware of our three realms and being committed that we can change it and have input in it."
Jewel realised when she was 34 that she was $3 million in debt and has accused her mom Leandra Carroll of having"stolen" her fortune.
Speaking on the 'Verywell Mind' podcast, she told host and therapist Amy Morin: "34 years old, I realise I'm $3 million in debt, realise my mom stole it, realise everything I thought my mom was isn't what she was.
"Very difficult psychological thing to come to terms with.
"I didn't realise what my mom was until I was 30-something. I woke up and realised she embezzled all of my money, over $100 million."
