Tragic Details About Gordon Ramsay's Life Revealed

Sometimes, a successful career isn't enough to make you happy. Case in point: Gordon Ramsay.

Despite his many accomplishments, Ramsay has experienced more than a few ups and downs. And though he's arguably one of the world's most celebrated chefs, he's also endured lots of tragedy in his personal life.

In 2007, Gordon Ramsay wrote an article for CNN in which he opened up about his troubled childhood, writing that,

"Growing up, my father was less than a perfect role model. I watched how he battled alcoholism and how he became terribly violent with my mum, to the point where she feared for her life...There were instances when the police were called to take him away; mum was taken to the hospital while we kids were taken to a children's home."

So many years later, Ramsay still can't comprehend why his mother stayed in such a toxic and abusive relationship. As he puts it,

"She deserved so much better and so much more; it still pains me to remember how badly he treated her. I have four young children of my own, and I could never see myself behaving the way my father did when I was a child. I want to be a role model for my children and have them look up to me."

Elsewhere in the article, Ramsay discusses the work that he and his wife do for the U.K. charity Women's Aid, an organization that aims to end domestic violence against women and children. He writes that,

"Domestic violence is not identified solely by violent physical abuse; instead, it is defined as physical...psychological, financial, or emotional violence that takes place in a relationship, intimate or family-oriented."
