In his daily life, Dennis Rodman has always had his struggles. He had a very difficult life as a kid with an unstable family life. No one is sure how many children his father has, but it’s somewhere between 26 and 47.
He grew up with his mother and two sisters and felt alienated and unappreciated. Later in life, in 1993, he nearly committed suicide.
After that, he became the Rodman we know, with increasingly strange attempts to get attention.
It’s easy to dismiss him as a major league flake or freak, but when people made an attempt to reach him, he latched onto them.
