Jack grew up in a very dysfunctional household. His father was verbally abusive to him and his mother, and his mom drank constantly. Despite the challenges, he was a very bright-spirited kid until his later teen years. His father became physically abusive and he slowly stopped doing well in social situations and began to make bad choices as a way to cope with his home troubles. Jack started trespassing, stealing and causing property damage after and during school. At some point, he cut contact with all his previous friends (and breaking up with his at the time girlfriend) so that they wouldn't be strung along his new behaviors, and then turning in his credits and graduating highschool early. This was around the same time his dad left and he never saw him again (good riddance). His mother stopped drinking and saw therapy now that she was able to, without Jack's dad stopping her. Jack moved out and refused to seek therapy, instead coping in different ways. (Such as sleeping around and drinking alcohol using a fake ID.) He has a well-paying job that is both dangerous and mysterious. He doesn't tell anyone what he does for work. He has some new friends and old ones, but still distances himself as much as he can so that he doesn't get too attached to them. |
