Carol Burnett‘s troubled daughter, Erin Hamilton, has had a very turbulent life filled with both private and public setbacks. She struggled with drug addiction for years, which had a big impact on her life and health. Her problems reached a breaking point when she was put on a psychiatric hold and denied custody of her teenage son Dylan due to an alarming suicidal behavior that she displayed
Recently, sources close to Hamilton revealed that the 56-year-old is focused on rebuilding her life and is eager to mend her relationship with her legendary mother, Carol Burnett, which has been strained over the years due to her wayward lifestyle and legal brush.

Erin, whose unpredictable behavior had previously resulted in legal limitations on her visitation rights with her son, has made tremendous progress in improving her life. She stated that she has remained sober for the past 18 months after a judge suspended her visitation privileges, a personal change that has been essential to her attempts to start over and mend her connection with her son, Dylan.
However, her consistent efforts and better behavior have now paid off, allowing her unfettered access to Dylan as the limitations on her visitation privileges were removed when she turned 18 in September, ushering in a new era in the mother-child connection.

Despite the fact that Hamilton appears to be making significant progress in mending her relationship with her son, indicating a good change in her personal life, sources have disclosed that her attempts to reestablish contact with her mother, Carol Burnett, have been far more difficult. According to the insider, Burnett is very cautious and apprehensive about making amends with her daughter. Carol is naturally skeptical of Hamilton’s abrupt turnaround because she has seen her abuse several attempts at recovery in the past.
However, as part of her continuous healing process, the 56-year-old is more than willing to demonstrate that she has changed and is keen to regain her mother’s trust. She is also intent on continuing on a better path and admitting her past mistakes, but Carol is afraid of being let down again.
