Difficult Childhood and Family

Concerning her early life, Deborah is the daughter of Bob Nelson and Betty Kresin; she has two brothers, named Todd and Steven. Her childhood was very difficult as her mother and father separated when she was young Her mother then remarried, but that only meant even more problems for Deborah, as she suffered a lot from her stepfather, who was physically violent towards her, and from her own mother, who tried to commit suicide a couple of times. She also has two step-siblings, named Ronnie Pollinghorn and Betty Renee, with whom she had many problems as well. Her step-brother Ronnie committed suicide, her brother Steven had a stroke, and Todd ended up in prison for killing his brother-in-law.

Education and Marriage to Eminem’s Father

Regarding her education, Deborah went to Lancaster High School, where she met her future husband, Marshall Bruce II, so she quit her education to marry him when she was only 15 years old. Three years later at the age of 18, she gave birth to their first child, a son named Marshal Mathers III, who would later become known all over the world as Eminem. Although they were blessed with a child, Eminem’s father decided to leave the family when he was a baby.

Raising Eminem

Afterwards, Deborah had to work some low paid jobs just to earn enough money to support Eminem and herself. They often moved back and forth from Kansas City to Detroit, most of the time living in very poor conditions. At that time, she even did some illegal things such as false accusations towards organizations and people just to get money from them. Eminem once said that his mother never worked, and that they were living on money given by social organizations.

Popularity through Her Son

As Eminem was gaining popularity in the early 2000s, Deborah wanted a piece of that popularity and wealth for herself. It is well known that they didn’t get along very well since Eminem’searly childhood, as he described their relationship through his songs and was always eager to speak about it. Deborah decided to step out and tell her version of the story, which she did by releasing a CD with three songs, “Dear Marshall”, devoted to her son. Furthermore, she wrote her autobiography entitled “My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem” in 2008, about her life and her problems and misunderstandings with Eminem. Beside that, it also tells her side of the story about the life they had together, alleging that Eminem was telling lies just to gain even more popularity. Nonetheless, she claims that she is not mad at him.

Personal Life and Relationships

Talking about her personal life, after marriage to Eminem’s father, Deborah married Berger Olsen Au Gres, however, that didn’t last long due to her mental illness, which caused a lot of problems in their relationship, so they decided to move down separate paths. She then met Fred Samara, Jr., with whom she welcomed a son named Nathan Kane Samara in 1986. An interesting fact about him is that he is also rapper, and is in good relations with his step-brother Eminem, and they’ve even worked together.

Mental illness

All of Deborah’s problems in her early childhood reflected on her mental health. She suffers from Munchausen syndrome, which is a type of mental illness in which a person repeatedly acts as if she has a physical or mental disorder, and is manifested as a constant need for attention and sympathy from others. This illness was the main reason she was abusive towards Eminem, and her other son Nathan.

Lawsuit against Eminem

As Eminem started speaking about her all in the worst terms in his songs, and interviews with the media, Deborah decided to file a lawsuit against him for $10 million, claiming that everything he said about her was a lie, and that most of his lyrics were not written by him, but by the people that he works with. However, she profited little with the accusations, receiving only $1,600.

Reconciliation

At the time she was diagnosed with breast cancer, things between her and Eminem calmed down and the two reconciled. Moreover, his song entitled “Headlights” was written as an apology to her and he also said in the song that he will always love her just the way she is. Right now there is still some tension and some sort of awkwardness in their relationship, but both of them say that they love and respect each other.
