His career subsequently declined due to multiple arrests and court cases, and chronic substance abuse and alcoholism.〔Grossberg, Josh. (Timeline of a Trainwreck: The Edward Furlong Edition ). E!.

He has a younger half-brother, Robert Torres, from his mother's marriage to Moises Torres; Furlong's former stepfather. By the time of his debut in ''Terminator 2'', the couple were divorced. Furlong is of Mexican descent on his mother's side, and has also described himself as "half-Russian". His mother's sister, Nancy Tafoya, and their half-brother Sean Furlong, obtained custody of him for several years; including 1990-1, when he began his acting career. Initially, the two served as Furlong's managers.〔〔〔〔 By the time he was 16, Furlong had become romantically involved with 29-year-old Jacqueline Domac, his sometime tutor and stand-in.〔 This led to a split with his aunt and uncle, and eventually to his emancipation at age 16. The two lived together and Domac also served as his manager. They were engaged to be married, but split in 1998. In 1999, Domac sued Furlong for money she claimed was owed to her, but being withheld by him; primarily for her role as his manager. She also claimed physical abuse by Furlong. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edward Furlong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
