According to Debbie Nelson, Eminem's mother, she and Bruce separated shortly after the singer's birth in 1972. The mother-son duo settled in Detroit with her family while Bruce moved to California where he had two other kids. Eminem has said in interviews, as a child, he wrote letters to his father but they always came back "return to sender". In 2001, Bruce published a letter addressed to Eminem in a newspaper explaining his side of the story, that Debbie didn't let the father-son reconnect. PTI
