5. His Unstable Mother
Anyone who is an Eminem fan will know about the horrible relationship he’s had with his mother, Debbie. She was only 17 when she gave birth to him and did not provide a stable home. As Eminem got older, the two constantly fought. In his songs and in the press, he’s accused his mother of child abuse and being addicted to prescription pills when he was growing up.
In 2013, Eminem released his song, Headlights in which he expresses the remorse he feels for airing his and his mother’s tumultuous relationship publicly. Appropriately on Mother’s Day in 2014, he released a heart-wrenching video for the song depicting his mom’s point of view through his career.
Although this seems to be a step in the right direction for the two, we shouldn’t hold our breaths for a happy reunion. At the end of Headlights, Eminem states that he’ll always love his mom, but only from afar.
