His father died in 1903 and his mother died in 1907. He was a teenager at the time, and so no, they did not live long enough to see him rise to power. Adolf - all surprise - was a very determined child and so rather difficult. His relationship with his father was strained. On the other hand, his relationship with his mother was said to be strong. By accounts, however, she was not a happy woman, having very little in the way of support from her husband and after having suffered the loss of 4 children.
