The man on the cover was once a child who had a horrible childhood while growing up in the home of an alcoholic.
As an iconic country music performer, adoring husband to a famous Hollywood actress, and adoring father of two, he now leads an extraordinarily successful and fulfilled life.
After growing up with a father who never expressed his affection for him, he is the greatest father he can be to his children.
A famous country star who is now highly successful grew raised in a troubled family. Though he was a well-mannered and well-behaved little boy who had no difficulties, fights, or run-ins with the law, this gifted musician had a fairly traumatic life as a child.
During an in-depth interview about his life and career a few years ago, the artist confessed that [read] his trauma was triggered by his parents’ penchant for migrating constantly. The musician’s capacity to feel intimate comfort in family life was hampered by his constant relocation as a child.
In fact, he says in the same interview that if he could change one thing about how his parents raised him, it would be to live in a house full of closeness. When pushed to expand on what he meant by this, the singer revealed:
“My dad was an alcoholic, and I grew up in an alcoholic’s house. No intimacy.”
After divulging this information, the interviewer inquired whether his father would ever become physically angry with him. The country music artist clarified that his father was a physical disciplinarian and recalled:
“I don’t recall him ever telling me he loved me as a kid. I’d do a gig I thought was fantastic, and the only thing he’d say is, ‘When you speak onstage, you’ve got to slow down.’ He never commented on anything else.”
He continued to assert that as his dad aged, he forgot about the way he disciplined him. However, the musician believes that he genuinely could not recollect what happened in the past.
