The Life of Bobby D

Family is the first environment children learn almost everything from and it's the parent(s) who has the most influence. Gloria and Lee Reed are loving people of the faith that does not understand the meaning of pushing their Bobby D. too far and too hard. They did not practice what they preach and by that; their child saw following God as a curse and not a blessing.

According to Bobby D., "When you witness various traits such as; lies, persuasion and deceit, those adjectives makes you have mix feelings about "a call" on your life. To me, there's nothing more precious than sowing a mouth shut and replacing blood with formaldehyde; yes, the dead is better than the living."

Did the parents play a part in the forceful rebellion or did society and the church create a monster?
