Marlon accused Joseph of beating them in late August how come his opinions changed so soon in early December? When in August he stated that he felt resentful toward his father? Of course it had to do with the Dynasty series and keeping the ''One big family. loving family image'' up. .
Michael always gave credit even if it was undeserved, Joe's beatings and insensitivity damaged Michael for good. I don't think you are aware of the effects of abuse.
Well, sorry for not following up on Marlon religiously. You could be right, he could have changed his opinion for the sake of the show, if what you say is accurate.
But I will say that since the day of MJ's death, I have been less than impressed by the behavior of some of his siblings in public.
Moving on...
Well you may think it's undeserved. No one else has to see it like you do. I don't know why people pick and choose and when some things turn out to be against their favor, they say, well......"MJ didn't mean it". Yeah because he told you so, right?:smilerolleyes:
Once again we end up at square one, interpretation. Can't say for sure.
Here's the thing. Yes I believe that Joe has both affected MJ's life adversely and positively. You, however believe that he's affected Michael's life adversely, and nothing more. That's perfectly fine.
I understand the effects of abuse quite well. I have seen them. There are cases that are ten times worse than this , yet it never gets to the television screen. Places where victims suffer in vain forever without a voice.
I come from a house of tough love. Maybe you don't. and that's Good for you. Everything that some people might read about may shock them because this isn't what they've been accustomed to culturally or whatever. But this is honestly, nothing new to me, I relate to Michael alot in that sense.Sorry.
But seriously, All I was trying to say all along is that...I'm not sure if Michael wanted us to view him as an "abused" person, literally. He never told the public, literally and specifically that he was "abused" and judging from the accounts he's given us, he has all the more reason to say so, but he never did. I wonder why, is that such a crime? Is that bashing MJ to say that he never said he was "abused"?
I thought I was sensitive.:smilerolleyes:
