Best Answer

His father drank a lot and did not consider Alexander to be a true son of his, as Alexander was born with a breathing problem. He showed little affection towards Alexander, but his mother loved him throughout his life, though he feared his mother to be the insane sorceress many believed she was. He was also raised by a mother of his friends as a nurse, and she taught him many of the values that made him the great ruler he was.
