Have you really never heard of other child actors having troubled lives?

Who is to say she was pushed into it? If she had an issue with her mother how do you know what that issue was? You don't know what her childhood was like. That's something that she has kept out of the public. Be it bad or good, it's no one's business. You are making assumptions because of her lifestyle.
She had no choice to do anything because she had acting talent? If a child likes gymnastics, football, basketball and their parents accommodate that interest and that child wants to pursue a career in something they are good at, is that child being pushed by the parent? Granted some children are pushed into many things by the parents, but not all. There are parents that are very supportive of their child's dream. Chearly as a child you lacked imagination/motivation.
There are plenty of child actors that did NOT having troubled lives. Then there are those child actors that couldn't deal with the spotlight being off of them and go over the deep end, not from family circumstances - not exactly what Jodie did. She became a successful actress, film producer and director.
