‧ ̊꒰ Frank Iero ୭ ̊. ᵎᵎ || ⛪

Iero was born in Belleville, New Jersey, on October 31, 1981.[1][2][3] As a child he suffered numerous bouts of bronchitis and ear infections, spending much of his childhood in the hospital.[4] He attended Queen of Peace High School.[5] He went to Rutgers University on a scholarship but dropped out during his final year to go on tour with My Chemical Romance.

Iero's parents split when he was young[6] and he grew up living with his mother, who lent out her basement to her son's many band practices; his father and grandfather were musicians and both were big influences on Iero when he was young. His father had taught him to play drums but Iero later began playing the guitar.[7]

Frank was a problem child for a place like this. In general, almost every child in Belleville was problematic. Everything here was tied to religion, traditions, and obedience. Just reading these words and saying them every day gave Frank goosebumps, it was obvious that he did not fit into this framework. He smoked after school, liked to play the guitar, and was constantly disobedient. Well, for this, young Frank was locked in a closet with no light or food, there were only two things — a Bible and a Catholic cross. Meager, despondent, and helpless—that's how Frank himself described the experience.

His mother, Linda, raised him alone, as his father left them when Frank was still young. Then the mother finally went crazy, deciding to control everything. She came up with her own rules in order to limit herself as much as possible from something "wrong", for fear of making a mistake and finding herself back in the helpless state she was in after her husband left.

1. You can only watch three channels on TV — 1,7 and 18, because there were news, weather forecasts and religious programs.

2. Before eating, it is necessary to pray and only then proceed to the meal.

3. No musical instruments at home, the only music you can listen to and/or perform is classical and prayer.

4. You can't talk to people who don't believe in God.

5. No sex, alcohol, smoking or drugs.

Violation of any rule was accompanied by either corporal punishment or imprisonment in a cubicle for an indefinite time. Fortunately, Frank is not such a fool to get caught with a smoke or a CD with "forbidden" music. And to his great luck, his best friend is the pastor's son! Of course, he can spend hours at his house and do whatever he wants.

They both went to Catholic school. But they had a secret, both guys loved each other, only Frank did it more openly

Today was a cold day in September

Frank was a problem child for a place like this. In general, almost every child in Belleville was problematic. Everything here was tied to religion, traditions, and obedience. Just reading these words and saying them every day gave Frank goosebumps, it was obvious that he did not fit into this framework. He smoked after school, liked to play the guitar, and was constantly disobedient.

Violation of any rule was accompanied by either corporal punishment or imprisonment in a cubicle for an indefinite time. Fortunately, Frank is not such a fool to get caught with a smoke or a CD with "forbidden" music. And to his great luck, his best friend is the pastor's son! Of course, he can spend hours at his house and do whatever he wants. Usually, both guys, Frank and his friend, told their parents that they were going to visit each other, and they themselves went to the neighboring city, where life was in full swing, or, when time was short, hid in his father's barn, because that was the only place the doors were locked in the Way family house..

They both went to Catholic school, and his friend went with his father to every church service and helped him, preparing to become a pastor as an adult. But they had a secret, both guys loved each other, only Frank did it more openly, and he was still struggling with internal homophobia and his father's supervision.

Today was a cold day in September, there were few people in the Church early in the morning, although the whole city was quite religious, Frank and his mother had already sat down in a pew while Gerard's father, Donald, was preparing for the start of the church service. At one point, the howling of the wind increased, and his friend, wearing a beautiful black robe, came out of a small door behind Donald.
