Michael Jackson's Mom Katherine Kicks Grandkids Out of Estate

This is just so sad. And it serves as a prime example that money can't buy a family out of the Dysfunctional Family Syndrome. Did Mrs. Jackson really expect Normal behaviour from 4 siblings with 2 brothers as their fathers (that would be a Big Red Flag in my book that something was amiss). And where was Mrs. Jackson when the late Michael was building his own private Never-Never Land? (Another Big Red Flag that the young man was dealing with some demons). Did Mrs. Jackson really think her son was "right in the head" when he danced and performed on top of vehicles outside of a courthouse where he was on trial for child sexual abuse? (Red Flag) What about his numerous appearance changing surgeries (he was a nice looking young man already). Did THAT not seem a bit odd to Mrs. Jackson? Where were all these people that should have been in tune to this man's downward spiral and obvious pain? It seems as long as Michael was a source of income for others, he was left to his own devices in an attempt to cope with a life that was, quite obviously, not fulfilling his basic needs of love and a secure family support system (good grief, two of his brothers had children with the same woman-how's that for loyalty to one another?).I hope Michael is fially at peace.And that somehow in this Web a Dysfunction his children can emerge whole and without permanent injury to be passed down to the next generation. It is sad. I grew up with the Jackson Five and initially they represented so many promises. We were finally breaching the Fact of Racial Equality. I embraced them as fine examples of proof that black families were just as good, and as lovingly supportive of one another as my family. They failed. Ofcourse, the black population did NOT fail-and I firmly stand by my Racial Equality belief (in fact my daughter has a boyfriend that is African American). The trajic lives of these grand children (all of them, not just Michael's children) is grievous. It may have been more merciful had they been placed in anonymous foster homes and adopted into obscurity. I just have a hard time understanding how no one in the "inner circle" found it within themselves to stand up and say, "We have big trouble here, and we all need to come together and get some help. We have built a Dynasty on shifting sand and it is gonna crumble if we don't." As the mother, I think Mrs. Jackson was in the best position to do this. It was HER children being used and abused. What the heck was she thinking? Well, obviously, she wasn't (thinking, that is).
