He was apparently affected by the premature death of his older brother (Mary Trump's father) from alcoholism. And there have been no stories of his mother drinking. As I said, she wasn't well and was advised to have no more children, but instead she had two more, Donald and his younger brother. So when Donald was in his earliest years, his mother was hospitalized and not around. At one point the doctors said she might die. So clinical psychologist Mary Trump believes that affected him profoundly.
