It may seem like little Suri Cruise has a charmed life, but according to Us Weekly, the tyke is having a very tough time adjusting to parents Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's very public and nasty split.
The newly single mom has been opening up about her their new life and the details will make your heart break for the little girl.
"She said the divorce has been hard on Suri and she's acting out," Holmes' friend told the magazine. Poor thing. This is a reminder for us all that, although she jets to the Hamptons on helicopters and is a fashionista in her own right, Suri is still very much a child just like yours and mine.
Divorce is devastating to a kid -- no matter how good they seem to be handling it. "Katie says no to some things, but gives a little leeway. She knows Tom is going to spoil her," said the pal. This must be an incredibly confusing time for Suri. This is a child who wakes up to throngs of reporters and paparazzi following her every move. To lose the comfort of having both parents together is undoubtedly difficult for her. There are even reports that she hasn't seen dad Tom in over a month, though he calls every day.
The divorce and an abrupt move to NYC haven't been Suri's only major life change. She recently started at Manhattan's elite, $40,000 a year private school Avenues. Being the new kid is never easy, no matter who your parents are. Added the friend, "She wants [her] to fit in and be more of a normal kid." Let's just hope her wish comes true.

The best quote I've ever heard about what it's like to go through a divorce as a little kid is this... "You never go home again."
That summed it up for me.
Wait... "very public and nasty split"... I'm at a loss for words... How the hell was that divorce even close to nasty? It was over in less than a month!! No fighting, no custody battle, nothing! They signed the papers, and went their separate ways!
I will agree, the divorce has to be awfully hard on Suri, but I wouldn't call that divorce nasty, by all means!
Divorce affects everyone. In this case, a little girls who has parents that can provide many ammenities is now in need of just one thing: Love. She will adjust, her mom seems a very down to earth person who grew up in a normal environment and will want her child to experience that as much as possible.
I read reports on other websites that Tom Cruise is filimg in London thus not able to see her as often as he would surely like. Please get your facts staright.
Yes, divorce is always hardest on the kids. I would never have left my first husband, even though he treated me like an unpaid servant and was a jerk, if I knew how things were going to turn out for my kids. I would have stayed.
well that happens even if your not famous , now mix in the Mom and Dad of Suri and it is a hot mess Poor Suri
It doesn't matter how much $$$ a kid has, Her whole world is shattered and will never be the same again. Kids that age don't fully understand money, Suri is only a year older than my DD and her older brother who is a year older than Suri is just now learning about the value of money, the hard way. If she was a pre-teen then it might be a little different but the world as she knows it has ended and like divorced kids everywhere things will never be the same.
