    Pattie, whose parents were divorced, grew up with traumatic experiences and was violated from the age of five by a male babysitter and a friend’s grandfather.

    She experienced people’s predatory behavior so often that it began to feel normal at some point, Pattie revealed in her book Nowhere but Up: The Story of Justin Bieber’s Mom.

    As a teenager, her life was shaped by alcohol and illicit substances, and she had a toxic on-and-off relationship with Justin’s father, Jeremy Bieber, for about four years.

    She attempted to end her life a few months before Justin was conceived.

    The then-17-year-old threw herself in front of a truck and wound up in a mental ward.

    Pattie was proud of her son but was also “afraid” of steering him in the wrong direction

    After welcoming her now world-famous son, Pattie raised him in a shelter and worked two or three jobs to make a living.

    Justin eventually became a child star, making Pattie proud but also “afraid” of steering him in the wrong direction.

    “At the end of the day, I was Justin’s mother. I was accountable for any documents I signed, or any deal I authorized,” she wrote in her book.

    Exactly! He obviously loves Hailey and isn't referring to her. Otherwise why would he be serenading her, etc? Still married to her? Lots of people have trauma around Mother's/Father's Day and he's obviously one. Also note he says "love u moms", so it's not like he's out to show mothers disrespect. Can't say I love Bieber and yeah, some of the stuff he's done lately is weird, but the people calling him "vile" and saying Hailey should dump him need to get a grip.
