Some Adults Had His Back
Eminem once sat down with Rolling Stone to talk about the adults in his life who actually loved and cared for him. He told the magazine that his great-aunt Edna and his great-uncle Charles, both from his father’s side, had his back. He recalled spending several weekends over at their house when his father would call, but, sadly, he never asked to speak to him.

“A lot of times he’d call, and I’d be there — maybe I’d be on the floor coloring or watching TV,” Eminem recalled. “It wouldn’t have been nothing for him to say, ‘Put him on the phone.’ He could talk to me, let me know something. ‘Cause as far as father figures, I didn’t have any in my life.”
