I think that there are probably lots of families around just like his; we only know about his because the whole Jackson clan is rich and famous. I realize that all the kids were abused; and that led to a whole host of problems when they were older. My grandmother was bi-polar, and my mother was abused terribly, and in turn it affected her relationships with the people she loved, still to this day when she is 80. I do also feel sorry for those kids. I am just rather weary of hearing day after day about Michael Jackson and how wonderful he was. I think that he was a talented musician in his day, and he may have had a good personality to the people that knew him well, but none of us knew him at all and I think that it is a little ridiculous to be crying hysterically over a rock star.
