Unfortunately, they seemed to have drifted apart due to Ruth’s close relationship with her biological father. “I can accept his absence because he was such a good father figure to me in my early years,” she said. “In fairness to him, there has never been any animosity as such, more of drifting apart. “
When Ruth was ten, her mother married another man, her second stepfather. The man was reportedly not good to Ruth and subjected her to verbal abuse, which later reflected in her life. Fortunately, Ruth had a close relationship with her mother.
