A Devastating Split

She's In A Much Better Place Now

People's source also explained that Moore was in a much better place now and that writing the memoir was a deeply cathartic experience.

"She really has changed a lot for the better in the past few years. You can tell that she is much happier and enjoys her life more. She goes to therapy and works on being a positive and kind person to herself."

"She wanted to free herself of the trauma and heartbreak endured after her split from Ashton, but it was a struggle. Demi has been trying to improve her life, gain self-esteem and get healthy for several years. Spilling it all out in a personal memoir is a way to close the old door and open new ones."
