"We weren’t below the poverty line but we were very close," Barber said, "and the reason my mom struggled a lot was because my father never paid child support. She as a result had to work two or three jobs. We never felt like we wanted for everything, because my mom, which is something a lot of parents don’t do, she sacrificed her life for us, for 20 whatever years it was all about us.
"She worked at the Girl Scouts, she worked at a flower shop downtown, worked at the grocery store, the midnight shift. I remember going to bed and my mom leaving. We didn’t struggle because she killed herself."
