Glenn Beck Opens Up About Abusive Upbringing

(WBAP/KLIF News) Conservative talk show host Glenn Beck is working to change the pattern of abuse that happened during his upbringing. Beck says his father and mother were both victims of abuse at different times in life. The latest was his mother’s boyfriend. He recalled a time in an interview with WFAA that was the last he heard of his mother before she left to go on a boat ride with the boyfriend. Beck says she wrote a goodbye letter because she knew she wasn’t coming back. That day, she and the boyfriend both drowned. Before that, Beck says his mother was abusive to his father and sisters. And Beck’s father suffered abuse from his own dad. Beck now volunteer’s at Hope’s Door, the only domestic violence shelter in Collin County.
