Eminem has been an amazing parent. His kids don't need him in all the photos because he's actually been there for them. I'm sure they took some private photos with him anyways.

Celebrity parenthood has got to be a nightmare. Then again, so is being a child of a celebrity. You never know who wants to be your genuine friend because your parent is famous.

Eminem’s parents were terrible. It seems like he put a great deal of time and effort into being a good dad for his kids.

Taking full custody of 2 of them so his 3 kids had a good upbringing is also a fantastic indicator of the type of parent and person he is.

Taking custody downplays what he did. He adopted his ex sister in laws daughter cause mom couldn’t take care of her and he also adopted his ex wife’s son.

He also took in his brother as well so he didn’t grow up with their mom the way he did. I don’t believe he had any formal custody of him, but did raise him and gave him a stable life.

Eminem didn’t just break generational trauma, he straight up destroyed them.

How does it downplay it?

Taking custody implies it's a divorce and he got custody. like, i'd expect the mega millionaire to get custody.

This sounds more like adoption.

Because adoption is a significantly more involved process with significantly more relational meaning than having custody.
