'Getting really connected to myself has been a great journey,' Fran Drescher tells PEOPLE
In this week’s issue of PEOPLE, the actress, 62, opens up about how she moved on after a very public divorce from her husband of 21 years, Peter Marc Jacobson, in 1999 , and how she found love again — with herself!
“I think that I’ve had to very consciously work on not being codependent, not being fearful of being by myself or doing things by myself,” says Drescher, who met Jacobson in high school and married in 1978. “I really had to make a concerted effort to get past that. And I think that I am good with it now. But still, I’m not like, ‘I’d rather stay home by myself than go out and do things by myself.’ But then whenever I do do things by myself, I enjoy it.
“I wasn’t feeling as happy as I thought I’d feel with money, and fame, and creative control,” she says. “Peter started to have control issues that I found somewhat suffocating, and only in hindsight, do we now understand that he was working so hard to control his authentic self, his true orientation.”Two years after the marriage ended, Jacobson told Drescher he is gay. However, the duo remain close friends to this day.
