‘Was it a cold and uncaring mother, or one burdened with 10 children?’
Beck’s mother died when he was fourteen. The police listed it as drowning, but Beck claims it was suicide.
What was it made Becks mother so unhappy she might have committed suicide? Was it the father he then returned to live with? According to the Wiki article I just read, he had a half sibling (or step sibling, I forget which), who also committed suicide. Something was very, very unhealthy in that family. He is quoted as having been under the influence starting at 16 and continually for 15 years. Poor man, I hope he finds peace.
