Probably a bigger factor in all of this was that Terry Jr. was a third generation substance abuser, and never broke the cycle..
Always believed in "generationally transmitted dysfunctions", while some folks avoid the pitfalls of their families many do not..
Terry Jr. was "born to the breed" and in that breed they coped with stress by excessive drug/alcohol use..
This is something that happens everyday. We feel it more when we see a celebrity’s name but we still don’t truly feel it.There were stories of Terry locking himself in his room and not answering the door for anyone before practice and games. While not knowing specifics, it seemed elder Glenn suffered from depression, and perhaps more.
That would likely been the root of substance abuse, and the possible combination of depression, Terry's death and the holiday season might have made it difficult for Terry Jr. to cope.
