Some kids with horrific childhoods--or celebrity childhoods--- have amazing resilience---and fairly "normal" lives (if there is such a thing). Lots is due to our internal wiring and how we process all our experiences--- and I wouldn't begin to guess how that works, or what would be best for Michael's kids. I just wish for the best for them.

But certainly putting them in the public eye really does the trick. I guess we all screw up our kids in some way. But certainly putting them in the public eye really does the trick.

His were always made public. I am not excusing him for some of them, I am just amazed at how his genius, music and his clear mission for love and peace are what people are and ultimately will remember him for. All the unflattering headlines and media attention is dwarfed by Thriller, Billie Jean, We are the World, moon walk, his children and on an on. His children will be fine and I hope end up with Debbie Rowe,their mother. RIP Micheal, and thanks for giving more than you ever took. We all have flaws, closets and imperfections.
