Matt Hardy's belief on where Jeff Hardy's issues likely come from
During an episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the older Hardy brother speculated on why Jeff still struggles with his inner demons and substance abuse.
He believes some of it stems from the early passing of their mother:
“I feel like some of Jeff’s issues probably come from our mother dying when he was so, so young. That was always an issue that he carried with him deeply,” Matt said. (H/T: WrestlingNews)

The Hardys originally broke into the wrestling scene back in 1999 after years of being used as enhancement talent. While Jeff Hardy is arguably more popular than his brother, The Charismatic Enigma still seems to struggle with decades-old trauma.
Fans of the duo hope everything works out well for Jeff so that The Hardys can continue what was meant to be their final wrestling run.
