Yungblud Opens Up About Trauma Over Parents' Dark Relationship

Yungblud disclosed that his youth was marred by the "abusive" relationship between his parents.

The 25-year-old musician, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, grew up in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England with his parents and two younger sisters.

However, he claims that the couple's explosive arguments and problems coming from the family's guitar store left him miserable.

The musician explained to Louis Theroux on his new BBC series "Louis Theroux Interviews..." that his parents had this strange, beautifully dark relationship where he could not explain. He said he never seen two people love each other as much as they do, but at the same time, also does not think he has ever seen two people hurt each other as much.

He revealed that there was physical, mental, and emotional abuse between his parents, affecting how he was growing up around them. This inspired him to always desire to create a place where he could exist in order to escape the events occurring aroundhim.

Alongside his son, his parents appear on the show, and Justin remarked of the arguments with Samantha that they did shout at each other excessively and that as a result, he continued to attend weekly counseling sessions for rage issues. Over the past few years, he said he became much more tranquil, but he needed counseling to regulate my angry outbursts, so he received it. Samantha added, that they were merely 16 when they first met and while she is not justifying their behavior, youth has undoubtedly affected how they react to things.

She shared that she believes that after many years of counseling, they have grown to respect one another. She went on to claim that she felt "quote guilty" after reading interviews her son had given about his childhood, and the singer broke down in tears as he revealed that the family has not yet resolved its issues.

He continued that whole thing terrifies him. It's arduous. He imply believes they have not yet settled a great deal of issues together. At least that can change.

However, he emphasized that he loves his family and that he was able to put his pain into his music, while Justin concluded that their family is incredibly close given everything they've been through.

Having collaborated with the mysterious Avril Lavigne, Yungblud's career is progressing well. Avril Lavigne has returned with a new song, "I'm a Mess," featuring her fellow pop punk juggernaut.

"I'm a Mess" follows dozens of US tour dates in support of Love Sux and a significant appearance at last month's When We Were Young Festival. Love Sux may have been the title of Avril's 2022 album, but "I'm a Mess" is a love song through and through, with Lavigne and YUNGBLUD yearning for each other (or their respective lovers) in a heartfelt, poignant duet.
