Until the age of twelve he lived in various cities in the United States, until they chose to stay in the suburbs of Ditriot (Michigan).
Eminem, already grown up, has said on several occasions that his relationship with his mother was not good, blaming her for being a liar and a drug addict.
He has also emphasized the large number of moves in his childhood, he walked everywhere without being able to have a fixed home, since his mother was addicted and could not hold a permanent job.
For all this situation, Marshall becomes attached to his grandmother Betty Kresin (nowadays he is a regular commentator on his grandson's behavior).
