Deborah became pregnant with Eminem when she was just 15 years old, and marrying his father Marshall Bruce Mathers II, however, the relationship was short lived, as it ended just after a year which would eventually lead to her relationship with Eminem going downhill. Trying to take care of her children, she would move from Kansas City and Detroit, living in public housing systems. Eminem had difficulty with the ever changing environments that he lived him. Eventually, Eminem would develop a strong disdain for her mother whom he claims, never took care of her. He had to raise his younger half-brother and this disdain would soon fuel his musical passion.

Eventually, Mathers would be diagnosed with cancer and the two started to reconcile. They began speaking once again and eventually, Eminem would apologize for the song “Cleanin’ Out My Closet” through the 2013 song entitled “Headlights”.
