Daryl grew up in the mountains of Northern Georgia alongside his older brother Merle, under the roof of their neglectful redneck parents, their father, an abusive alcoholic alongside their chain-smoker mother. Merle was the only inspirational figure he had during his youth and thus inherited his backward views on society, however, due to his older brother's service in juvenile detentions, he became frequently absent from Daryl's life and thus he was reluctantly forced to fend for himself, upon where he developed a hard-boiled survivalist mindset. At a young age, the brothers lost their mother in a house fire which had been caused by a cigarette while she was asleep or presumably drunk. Some point after this event Daryl found himself lost in the woods for nine days during where he was forced to consume wild berries and utilize poison oak as a substitute for toilet paper. Eventually, he managed to find his way back home. Upon arrival however, he discovered that his father had not noticed his absence and thus Daryl simply walked through the back door and made himself a sandwich. Over the course of several years, the brothers were mentally and physically abused by their father, which eventually caused Merle to abandon the family and join the military, subsequently leaving Daryl in the process which resulted in severe scars located on his back, this abuse however was unknown to Merle. Following their father's death, Daryl moved out from his birth home and eventually reconnected with Merle and thus simply followed his brother's lead upon where they entered into a drifter lifestyle, where the pair utilized their survival instincts, upon where Daryl grew into a proficient hunter and tracker, hunting for food and dealing in contraband. While Merle was in the military, Daryl's dad physically abused him, leaving deep scars on his back, something that Merle never knew about. It made Daryl believe he was less important than others around him. While Merle was his brother's greatest inspirational figure, Daryl was able to differentiate right from wrong. Daryl spent considerable time away from Merle, and these periods where the younger Dixon brother had to make his own way led to him developing his own sense of morality. Seeing Merle end up in prison for his lack of ethics would also have helped Daryl create an established sense of correct and incorrect conduct. Daryl would travel from place to place, mostly without food or shelter, forcing him to figure out how to adapt and survive. Daryl really struggled to find his purpose in this tragic life, meanwhile his brother fell into a drug addiction. He really was on his own his entire life. Daryl is emotionally closed off, angry at the world, and a loner. At one point, the pair resided in Merle's drug supplier's house where the trio watched TV and by noon had become intoxicated, a discussion turned violent where the dealer punched his older brother, where Daryl retaliated by savagely beating the man. However, the dealer then threatened to shoot Daryl, a large argument ensued, which ended with the dealer punching Daryl in the gut, causing him to vomit. Merle and the dealer laughed the incident off. Following this near-death experience, Daryl came to view himself as an unimportant individual who held no value or purpose in life.
