When Farrah’s cancer reached its final stages, her thoughts reportedly remained focused on Redmond and what would happen to him after her death. She tried to make arrangements that would protect him from making destructive decisions. Even as she faced her own mortality, her concern for her son remained one of the greatest emotional burdens of her final years.
After Farrah died in 2009, Redmond’s problems continued. He experienced repeated struggles involving addiction, arrests, rehabilitation attempts, and psychiatric treatment. Without his mother’s protection, he increasingly faced the consequences of his actions publicly. His difficult life became a painful reminder of the problems that had followed him since childhood.
