Fatherless and Loveless
Ron never knew who his birth father was. His 17-year-old mother did what she needed to do to survive, and Ron was the result. He grew up being rejected by his step-father all his life, never able to understand why nothing he did was ever good enough for the father-figure in his life.
He was sexually abused by a babysitter. Due to sever trauma, he developed a stuttering problem and would wet the bed, all signs of trauma that led to even more abuse instead of getting the help he needed. Teased by classmates and neglected at home, Ron didn’t want to hurt anymore, so he put a revolver to his head and pulled the trigger, but it didn’t fire.
