Michael Jackson And His Father

[OneVoice4U]

Hi,

I am wondering what you think. Do you think that Joseph Jackson was a good influance on Michael? Do you beleiev that Jose Jackson was a good parent and what effect do you feel it had on Michael's life style? Do you think that Joe Jackson will be a good influance on Michael's children? Do you think that Joe Jackson is taking advantage of his son, Michael's death to promote his new record company?

 I have a really bad feeling about him, I dont know facts but I have heard about him beating Michael when he was younger...I think Michael was a truly lost person and his father had something to do with it. His dad seems power hungry and greedy.

I am aware only of what the MSM has thrown out there about Michael's dad....I do not trust the MSM. I like to verify info thru many other sources 1st. Sadly when someone this famous & wealthy dies so many come out of the woodwork so to speak w/ their hands open. When my parents died the rest of the family { 7 siblings } all pulled together & supported each other concerning the pain of loss we were all experiencing. No, my family did not have the money or the fame which the Jackson family has but there were wills to deal w/ & legal matters to contend w/ + a nice house to sell. Greed & selfisness did not enter the picture during our decision making. It will be interesting to see how this Michael Jackson legal matter plays out......I wonder if Michael was making a statement by leaving his father out of the will IF this is truly what he did!?

have you seen the martin bashir interviews? Michael talks candidly about joe beating him and pushing him to stardom, denying him a childhood. He said he used to vomit because he was so afraid of his dad. That said, abuse plus superstardom can mess a person up so bad. Some ppl can work thru it and live (semi) normal lives. I think Michael was a musical genius and one of those ubersensitive, not quite down to earth artists. He just couldn't figure out how to handle all his problems properly. I actually felt really really bad for him. How would you feel if you were the bread winner and your family was always suing you/ Did he EVER have a real friend?Money can't buy happiness Especially if your head isn't right in the first place.

I think Joe saw his kids as money makers and that's about it. Hes an ass.

Good reason why his dad may have been absent from the will....

I think this is exactly why Michael had such a special bond with children. They don't use people like adults do. They are much more honest and trustworthy.
