IF Michael Jackson judged and blamed his parents for robbing him of his childhood and he was angry with his parents, his anger would limit his ability to be a good father to his own children and he would not be able to be there for them throughout their childhood.

I appreciate your opinion, but a lot of people, who claim to have had a rotten childhood because their
parents did not have good parenting skills or were abusive, become the opposite & are very good parents.
My opinion stems from my own experience. Although they weren't deliberately abusive,
I don't think my parents were very good parents at all.
They believed "Children should be seen and not heard". Actually, it seems we were not seen nor heard &
not appreciated. We were not encouraged to be creative or to play or to form opinions or have feelings....
... IOW, it seems to me, that my 3 sibs and I were never allowed to just be children.
As I grew up and had my own children, I wanted to be everything that my parents were not.
And, not be some things that they were!
I loved encouraging my 3 sons, at all stages of their lives, from their toddler years, to be artistic,
creative and to voice whatever opinions & feelings they had, without being told they were wrong.
I tend to see Michael being that same sort of parent. From the videos I've seen (mostly at U-Tube)
of him with his children, he is a very good parent. Even when he had them wearing their masks in public,
it looks like they were all playing games.
I am proud to say that my 3 sons were never in trouble with the law or with drugs, they all 3 made excellent grades,
all 3 graduated from college and all 3 are very successful now as adults.
