Will Smith: Shocking in his autobiography - "My father abused my mother, I wanted to commit suicide"
Revealing in several places in the book "Will" the famous actor, who wrote that he was looking for ways to commit suicide when his mother was forced to leave home.
Will Smith 's autobiography "Will" has been released by the "Penguin RandomHouse" publishing group , which the famous actor has recently presented at a series of events in the United States.
The book is very revealing, as, apart from separate "stations" of his successful career through popular series and movies ( Men in Black, Independence Day , Bad Boys, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air etc. ), the actor shares with reader and several important points of his personal life.
Among them, the difficult period of adolescence and specifically when he was 13 years old, where he was forced to systematically see his mother being abused by his father.
Will Smith even reveals in the book that when his mother was forced to leave home, he thought of committing suicide. Her departure, as he wrote, made him feel lonely and guilty, to turn to the search for ways to end his life.
"He had suffered a lot. He went to work one day and did not return home. He did not go far, a few blocks away, to my grandmother's house, but the message was clear. He was gone," he wrote. " I thought about the pills. I had read "A boy had lost his legs on the train tracks. I had seen on TV people cutting their veins in a bathtub."
Elsewhere in the book, Smith says, during his childhood, he had seen several times his father beating his mother: "I saw her spitting blood. This time in that bedroom has defined who I am ", perhaps more than any other moment in my life."
The lines become even louder and more moving to the point where he even puts up with himself for not helping his mother: "I felt disappointed. How I failed to defend her. How I was a coward .. As a child "I always told myself that one day, when I was much older and stronger, I would kill him."
