Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology

by Leah Remini

Maybe you talk about how your parents are not supportive of your endeavors, and they respond, “Wow, that is not cool. You can achieve your goals in life. Maybe you need to step away from your parents’ negativity for a bit and do a course here that will help you to reach your goals.” You feel vindicated. This person understands me. He or she is my ally. This group believes in me. In the real world you may feel like you are nothing, but here you are treated with respect.
