he has never made it any secret about his battle with depression…and its quite obvious when you look at his actions. Frequent drug addictions, excessively defensive and Bipolar behaviour. Stuff like that. Some MTV interviews had him talking about his life when he was trying build a foundation for his family and how depressed he was during the struggle. So its no secret. The problem I have with Debbie is that she claims to care, but she frequently takes issue with him only when its financially viable.
Lets be honest, she is doing this book cause its an avenue for her to make money off him.

Im looking forward to reading the book!!!! Eminem is no saint and his mum probably isnt either but im sure she still cares for him as not even the worst Mum in the world is that selfish. His proven to be a bit crazy so that in it self would have been difficult to live with. Its not like his the best Father around and he uses his daughter in songs to sell albums, wheres the difference?

the book is horrible. the contents are almost as bad as her grammer. she should have had it edited. i read the book as much as i hated it just so i could compare her book with his. she acts like she is a wonderful mother. she has an excuse for everything that has gone wrong. eminem doesn’t just hate his mom for no reason but she acts like she has no clue why. oh ya my fav part is when she claims that she didn’t want to sue him that it was started with out her knowledge and all she wanted to do was end it. bullshit

i have read this book and i bet it is only based on lies… First of all because Debbie says that she never knew she sued eminem for 10 million til he called to make some deal with her but in an interview she said that it was hard for her to sue her son.. second, she said that em didnt care about his uncle todd’s death, and in an interview he said he was really sad when he found out… and third, come on!!!!!!!! that book is a soap opera!! I mean, nothing good ever happened to her(in her opiunion) and she also says that she feels horrible that she told him that thing with ronnie “I WISH YOU DIED IN RONNIE’S PLACE!!!!” Let’s be serious, you cant forget when you mom tells u something like this. DUHHHH!!!!!!! And em always said that kim supported him. his mom says the opposite……. I dont knoiw you guys, but i bel;ieve EM and i really wanna see his side of the story in the book “EMINEM: THE WAY I AM”………:>:>

I think there’s right and wrong on both sides.
I’m a huge Eminem fan but am also not so stupid as to think he hasn’t exagerated some things. That’s to be expected. What he’s doing is art not a documentary.
And anybody with half a brain can tell when he’s being ironic or slighly buffing something up for dramatic or comedic effect.
In terms of whether he’s lying about her putting him on medication and all that. You don’t need to believe either of them. The facts of there.
She was charged with Munchausen by proxy syndrome. Eminem’s brother knows the score. Don’t you think he would of denied what Em was saying if it was lies lol.
And Em’s other family members back his story. She also has a proven HISTORY of suing people as she never worked. SO I highly doubt that she knew nothing about suing Em. She sues everyone.

I think that while some of the things that em’s mom mentioned in the book are elaborated, there are also things that can not be denied.
First, I believed that there is a good person inside Debbie, after all she did adopt children into her family, and also accepted Kim into her household when Kim could not handle her own family.
Secondly, em lived at his mother’s home until he was 26 at which point his career began to take off and he could finally afford his own home. She also help pay utility bill for em and Kim. Would any mother who did not love her son do such a thing?
Em was also physically beatened himself at school to the point where he became mentally retarded after one altercation, in which doctors said he would be permanently disabled. His mother never gave up hope for him, and nursed him back to a semi miraculous recovery. That alone should symbolize her love for em, beyond anything she might have said to him in a heated moment about Ronnie.
Given her circumstances, I think she handled her self quite reasonably, basically raising all of her children as a teenage single mother who herself was physically beatened and molested as a child. Furthermore she was constantly beatened by em’s father who left her with an infant. Em’s grandma was herself a teenage mother, having given birth to Debbie at 15, so needless to say, em’s mother was not necessarily best equipped at being a mother having never had a good model to replicate, but I believed she tried.
