Michael Jackson, the mom, the kids, -- the family

You may or may not have heard about the recent strife in the Jackson family. One report says that Katherine Jackson is missing. Another report says she suffered a light stroke. Another report says she is doing okay but is on doctor’s orders to rest. Another says she is resting in Arizona with her oldest child.

Other reports says some of her other children are at odds with Michael’s kids. Michael’s kids claim they have not spoken to their grandmother in over a week.  Michael’s siblings believe the executor of his estate are doing shady stuff.

I could go on and on but you can Google this on the internet and read these stories for yourself.

I personally believe (and it is my understanding) that it was Michael’s  choice and “last will and testament” to ensure his children and his mother (the children’s guardian) are financially cared for. I do not believe that any other Jackson family member, his dad, his siblings, his nieces or nephews should be expecting any kind of handout. Some of his siblings are in a better position to earn their money without needing to be recognized as Michael’s brother or sister.

It is sad when families cling on to a deceased family member for what I believe is the sole purpose of fattening their pocket because he or she can’t stand on their own. I also believe that whomever is chosen as executor of the estate, should be qualified to do so and not be in it to charge exorbitant fees to manage the estate.

There is something going on in this family that is quite simply, no one’s business. I sincerely hope that Katherine is doing well and is not made privy to the mess that is occurring within her family. She is over eighty years old and caring for a tween and two teens. That alone is stressful.

This family needs to come together with a mediator to hash out the problems. If there is a question about the executors, take legal action. There’s a right and wrong way to go about handling family crisis’. Doing so in the public eye only makes it worse.
