Kerry Washington sat down with Robin Roberts on '20/20' to talk about her new memoir 'Thicker Than Water'
“As a young child, I would lie in bed and listen for signs of how serious each battle was and when it might come to an end,” Washington writes. “Sometimes the entire ‘fight’ would consist of my mother slamming a door to signal that she was done. But sometimes the yelling carried on. I developed panic attacks at night.”She took it upon herself to be the perfect child, hoping that her good behavior would calm the ever-present tension at home.
The autobiography is expected to explore her life so far, from her childhood trauma into her Hollywood career and her passion for political advocacy.This isn’t the first time Washington has spoken out about mental health. Washington has previously opened up about binge eating and compulsive overexercising.
