Remembering Jacko

Hi All,
This has been quite a painful week to see our legend, our beloved King of Pop pass away. Those people who grew up to this music in the 80's will remember him forever and forever. May he live for another thousand years through his music.
As I surf more about Micheal Jackson, there's one thing that emerges that is just very clear devoid of any speculation. He had a troubled childhood and as an adult he had trouble sustaining relationships. He had problems pertaining to his bodily image (refer to the numerous plastic surgeries and his changing looks over the years).
There was one writer even claiming that MJ wanted to turn from a Black man to a white woman. So what was his trouble? If he had been devoid of these troubles would he have lived long enough atleast to complete the "This is It!" tour????
Did these trouble cause stress on him that he had to fall upon anti-depressants and pain-killer medications and plastic surgeries for support?
If he had had a stable relationship could he have delayed the inevitable?
If the paparazzi hadn't troubled him with these speculations and hadn't followed him everywhere writing about his nose and chin implants, would he have lived a little longer?
Why did he have a child molestation charge against him?Though he was acquitted of all charges he was alleged to have paid a huge sum to the victim's family. Still, why was that thing with children??? Was he trying to derive power and control by doing the bad thing with children?that he could never have a say on his own dad and his punitive methods of upbringing?
Are these troubles actually zeroing down on his dad's punitive and abusive upbringing??
If his dad had been simply motivating and had not been abusive, would Micheal have had a better life that he would have been happier to live???
Is a sound childhood that important for a stable adulthood?

As a Psychologist, I read as well see the problems accociated with a bad childhood.
Michael's death is very painful as I grew up to his music. But can't help thinking that his childhood has been bad and that he has had problems adjusting to himself as an adult. I'm not here to say that they are directly related, I am no one to comment. But as I tell, its hard not to correlate.
Do you have a child? Please Take good Care.

I think of him as sad, to be honest. He was brilliant, but never happy. In the end, unfortunately, his weirdness made others unhappy too.we will never know if we were laughing or he was making us happy thro his music.He is a true icon. Watever may be the charge he had , all i can say is he was agood singer.
