Reeves had become an alcoholic and would spend most of his salary on himself rather than his family before he got to this point. After years of struggle, he ultimately abandoned his family in the 1980s.
His Son’s Lyrics were an inspiration to him.

“I’d say, ‘My daddy loves me and he’ll never leave me,’/Bullshit, do you even remember it’s my birthday in December?
One of his lines for the song “Where Have You Been,” inspired by his father, is “Do you even remember the tender boy/You turned into a cold young man.”
