Maisie Williams revealed she had a \u201ctraumatic\u201d childhood, which was fueled by her father’s behavior.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a young child before the age of 8, I had a traumatic relationship with my dad,\u201d the \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d actress said on Monday’s episode of \u201cThe Diary of a CEO\u201d podcast. <\/p>\n

\u201c[That relationship] really consumed a lot of my childhood. Ever since I can remember I really struggled with sleeping, and I think a lot of the traumatic things that were happening, I didn’t realize that they were wrong,\u201d she further described to host Steven Bartlett.<\/p>\n

The former child actress, who is now 25, said she felt alienated from her peers while growing up because of her experiences.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would look around at other kids and wonder, ‘why don’t they seem to understand this pain or dread or fear? Where does this joy \u2014 when does that come for me?’\u201d<\/p>\n

During the interview, the \u201cPistols\u201d star described her childhood self as someone who \u201cfelt very deeply in comparison to other people.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Williams did not go into detail about specific events surrounding her father because \u201cit affects my siblings and my whole family,\u201d she did share that her mother, Hilary Pitt Frances, was able to \u201cescape\u201d from her father when the TV star was just four months old. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was bad before that,\u201d Williams, who is the youngest amongst her four siblings, noted.<\/p>\n

Despite holding back on the details, she did describe the moment a teacher asked her about her home life, planting the seed in her head that something was wrong.<\/p>\n

When she was just 8 years old, her teacher asked her if she was hungry, to which she said she was. When the teacher further inquired if she had had breakfast, she told her no because \u201cwe just didn’t have any breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams ultimately revealed to the teacher that she and her siblings typically didn’t eat anything in the mornings. <\/p>\n

As she broke into tears during the interview, Williams said, \u201cThey were asking the right questions. I had so many people who loved and cared about me so much, but I had never been asked the right questions where I could really say what was wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the exchange with her teacher, Williams’ mother arrived at school with her siblings. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really, really hard because I still wanted to fight and say, ‘No! These things aren’t bad! You’re trying to take me away from my dad and that’s wrong!’ Because I was like, indoctrinated in a way.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Williams expressed that she felt her \u201cwhole world flipped on its head\u201d that day, sharing that while it felt good to get away from her father, she knew it felt against everything she \u201cknew to be true.\u201d<\/p>\n

Describing her family situation as somewhat of a \u201ccult,\u201d the actress expressed a shift in perspective on her father and childhood years later, and a desire to stop taking things that happened in her life personally. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf I wasn’t there it would’ve been someone else. It’s not because something is wrong with me that these things happened when I was a child.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
