Jake Morgendorffer was the son of an emotionally abusive father, nicknamed [["Mad Dog" Morgendorffer]], who (as Jake remembers it) tormented his son mercilessly and ultimately shipped him off to [[Buxton Ridge Military Academy|military school]] the first chance he got (the very day after Jake stopped on his contact lens, according to "[[The Daria Hunter]]"). Little is known about Jake's siblings, though it is possible he had an [[Jake's Older Sister|older sister]]; Jake mentions having weirdo neighbours in "Daria Hunter". Having "Mad Dog" for a father caused him to still wet the bed at age 15.

The couple graduated in 1972 ("[[The Daria Database]]") and moved into a commune together with their friends. In July 26 1975 they got married. ("Diaries" and "[[The Daria Database]]") His father didn't bother to turn up for the wedding ("[[Of Human Bonding]]") and died shortly thereafter.

Like many hippies, Jake and Helen rejected the 1960s counter-culture by the end of the 1970s and began working in the corporate world. Jake in particular began work in the advertisement industry, with little success. Adding to his strife was the fact that Jake worked for a rather controlling boss who treated Jake poorly (whom he referred to as a "mini-Mussolini" in the episode "[[Boxing Daria]]") and further verbally abused Jake on a regular basis.
