Her son became a world-famous celebrity, but his mother’s tragic past is worse than you can imagine

She was born in a small Canadian town where dreams often died before dawn. Her childhood was marked by pain no one should ever endure. What happened to her at the age of 15 became a point of no return — a wound that left deep scars on her soul.

Everyone around her pushed her to make the “logical choice” — to erase what came as the result of a violent act. But she did something else. She chose to keep the baby. With no support, no money, and a heart full of fear, she made a decision that would one day change the world.

She raised her child on her own, working low-paying jobs and living in cramped apartments. In her darkest moments, she held onto the only thing she had — the belief that her child was meant for something greater. And it turned out, that belief was right.

As a little boy, he showed a rare gift for music. She recorded his performances on an old camera and uploaded them to YouTube. One of the videos caught the attention of a talent manager — and everything changed overnight.

The woman who refused to have an abortion and dedicated her life to raising her son is Pattie Mallette. And her son? The global superstar, Justin Bieber.

Though her son became a household name, Pattie remained in the background for years. Yet her own story is just as remarkable. She battled depression, loneliness, and even suicidal thoughts — but found strength through her faith. In her memoir Nowhere But Up, she revealed the struggles and triumphs of her journey, and it quickly became a New York Times bestseller.

Today, Pattie is not just the mother of a star — she’s a symbol of strength and hope. Her story proves that even in the darkest moments, light can shine through — if you never give up.
