Sounds very much like what the Houston family did with Bobby Brown during the WH viewing. I'll never forget reading how Bobby went to the service and the family wouldn't allow him to go near Bobbi Kristina.
I know he had his issues with WH, but come on that wasn't the time to keep him away from his daughter.
I've always had a soft spot for Bobby Brown after that episode and he must be having a very difficult time right now.
Sad that for some it is more about power than doing the right thing for those they say they care about.
i have no soft spot for Bobby, none at all. However, at that time, the family should have been thinking first of the chlld, and she was still a child, IMO, that had just lost her mother and, for better or worse, loved and needed her father.
I remember when Oprah was pushing her "special" interview with this child, not long after Whitney's death. I found it despicable. I personally count Oprah as just another adult that let this Bobbi Kristina down. No surprise
that Oprah presented us with Dr. Phil. They have both proven that they will sell their souls, and anyone elses, for the inteview.
Sadly, as strange as this is in the similarities to her mothers death, I wish I could say I was more surprised. What I really felt was a sad sense of inevitability. This young woman had so many odds stacked against her just by virtue of the family she was born into. I am not sure she ever really had a chance.
Of course the world reacted more storngly to the loss of Whitney, such an immense talent, who threw it all away for drugs. Personally I find this to be so much more tragic. This child wasn't old enough to be held responsible for her decisions. She was just a lost child trying to find her way and it now appears she will never have that chance. She really never did.
I pray that she finds peace now.
