- Reconciliation requires daughter's sobriety and rehab.
Wynonna Judd is candidly discussing the challenging journey of addressing her daughter Grace Kelley's methamphetamine addiction. The country star shared in a recent interview that her own attempts to help often amounted to enabling, admitting, "I really lost myself with Grace and I enabled her, which comes down to basically giving her money for drugs." This realization led to a difficult decision to stop providing financial support.
Currently, Judd has not spoken to Kelley in a year, stating that reconciliation is contingent on her daughter achieving sobriety and attending rehab again. Judd, who has been open about her own past struggles and recovery, expressed hope for her daughter's healing. Her latest album, "The Hard Truth," delves into these painful personal experiences, including her complicated relationship with her mother and Kelley's ongoing battle.
Judd also spoke about raising her granddaughter, Kaliyah, who has Type 1 diabetes, highlighting the need to provide a stable environment. While she acknowledges Kelley's resentment over career demands and her intervention in raising Kaliyah, Judd's focus remains on breaking cycles and ensuring her granddaughter's well-being on their Tennessee farm.
