This. I would not be surprised if his life trauma has had a huge negative effect on his mental state.
I knew people who grew up with Fleury, including close relatives, and can say that his trauma didn't begin in junior hockey either. He had a really rough childhood from day one. Some of the stuff I heard about his home life was pretty disgusting. I was told about this back when he still played for the Flames.
