far from the spotlight the complicated beginning of Moore's life on a seemingly ordinary day in November a little girl was born in a place known for strange happenings Roswell New Mexico it was November mber 11th 1962 and the world had no idea that this girl would one day become a name everyone knew interestingly her Beginnings were far from ordinary and her journey would be filled with twists that no one could predict her name was Demi Moore and her story began with a broken promise before she even took her first breath her father a man named Charles Foster Harmon had already walked away he was a man who had worn the uniform of the Air Force course a man who seemed strong and dependable however he wasn't ready for the responsibility that came with a child so after just 2 months of marriage he left Virginia Moore's mother who was just 18 years old Virginia who had grown up in the sunny streets of Richmond California found herself back in Roswell raising a daughter all on her own still life had more in store for more when she was just 3 month old her mother remarried this time it was a man named Dan gin a newspaper advertising salesman who never stayed in one place for too long with each new job the family packed up their belongings and moved never really settling down despite all the changes something special happened in 1967 Moore gained a little brother named Morgan as Moore Grew Older she began to notice that her family wasn't like the others her mother and stepfather had a complicated relationship they married and divorced not once but twice the second time though it ended badly on a quiet day in October of 1980 a year after their second split Dan G made a decision that would change everything he took his own life leaving behind a family that would never be the same the loss didn't end there though Moore's biological father the man who had left before she was born passed away in 1997 after battling liver cancer he had lived in a small town in Texas far from the world more had come to know then there was her mother Virginia she had lived a life filled with trouble marked by arrests for drunk driving and even arson by the time Moore was a young adult she decided it was time to part ways with her mother the final straw came when her mother abandoned a rehab program that Moore had paid for it was a heart-wrenching decision but Moore knew it was the right one however life always has a way of bringing people back together in 1998 just before Virginia passed away from a brain tumor Moore and her mother found their way back to each other it was a Bittersweet reunion one that would Mark the end of a long and complicated relationship a strange childhood before all the fame Moore's childhood was marked by hard ship she spent her early years in Roswell the town of her birth and later in Cannonsburg Pennsylvania people who knew her then described a little girl who seemed fragile almost as if she had been forgotten by the world a photographer who once crossed paths with her remembered the haunting look in her eyes a look that made him uneasy Moore struggled with health issues too including a condition that caused her eyes to cross which required not one but two surgeries to fix she also had problems with her kidneys which made her feel even more different from the other kids however the biggest Revelation came when Moore was 13 she had always known something wasn't quite right and one day she found a marriage certificate that held the answer the certificate revealed that her parents had married in February of 1963 but Moore had been born the year before with this discovery the truth came out Dan gin was not her real father this Revelation shook her to the core and she was left wondering about the man who had left
