As a young lady, Pattie Mallette faced many problems and had to make tough choices.

Newly released as “Nowhere But Up: The Story of Justin Bieber’s Mom,” it details the abuse she suffered before becoming pregnant at a young age and giving birth to her son.

 

In her autobiography, Mallette opens up about the challenges she had in moving beyond her traumatic past and creating a new life for her son, Justin Bieber.

In her new memoir, “Nowhere But Up: The Story of Justin Bieber’s Mum,” Pattie Mallette details the difficult circumstances she endured before getting pregnant with her son.

She said that her feelings of remorse and humiliation were typical of women who had undergone sexual assault.

After succumbing to the pressures of drug and alcohol abuse, Mallette made a suicide attempt.

Heavy drug usage exacerbated the issue, which was the product of years of anguish.

Mallette was encouraged to terminate her pregnancy when she was 17 and found out she was carrying her son Justin, but she thought it was difficult to do so.

She kept him and gave him the best life she could despite her actual faith and will to make things work.

When Mallette first heard Justin crying, he felt like he was singing a lovely melody. Mallette characterised it as a soft “A hah, a hah,” and her first reaction was to want to cuddle and kiss him.
