Ed’s father had not what we would call a good man, nor was he even a halfway decent role model from his sons. Dude drank to excess, and physically mistreated his family. Though Ed had an older brother, Henry, he had always been extremely close to his mama, Augusta Gein. Mama was strict – well, that’s putting it lightly. Augusta was overbearing, demanding, demeaning, a religious zealot, and some say she could be physically abusive as well. For instance, there’s one story of August pushing little Eddie down a flight of stairs as a child. When he got a bit older, Ed was not allowed to leave the family farm unless it was for school; it’s said that mama had punished the young man for attempting to make friends, and girls were strictly forbidden.
