My favorite comment this week is by Pam.<\/p>\n

“I met J5 and spoke with them briefly when Michael was around 11\/12. I was impressed with how soft spoken and well mannered they all were. Although I did not care for the “crotch grabbing” of later years, I think he was a phenomenal performer. He endeared himself to his fans and people he worked with and is in the Guinness Book of World Records for his charitable contributions. I think he was basically a gentle soul who was pushed too hard by his father. Lack of a real childhood, the abnormal life, drug addiction, and the loneliness that I guess most unique people suffer in some way resulted in a tormented self-destructive life. I am so sad that it all ended just when it looked like he was finding his way back to the public performing that he loved. I am sure God loves him. RIP Michael.”<\/p>\n

I know that childhood traumas and difficulties can lead to problems later in life.  I know it first hand from my work with, and recovery from food addiction.  So I have great compassion for Michael Jackson, and everyone who has gone through this.<\/p>\n

Can you relate to childhood problems and addictions?  We’d all love to share our experiences and feelings – please add your comment below.<\/p>\n
