Neil Sr. was an alcoholic who abused his wife and children physically, mentally, and verbally. Passion and emotion were not a part of the Biggs household. The only signs of emotion and passion that were evident in the Biggs home were the beatings that Neil Jr., Tamia his sister, and his mother sustained for eleven long years of Neil Jr.'s, life. Neil's remembrance of childhood events are far and few good than he dares to remember. He was often told of how many good times that they had when he and Tamia were little ones, yet Neil can't remember a single good time.
