Sadly, searching for a childhood that he missed, and longed for. That’s also why he entertained so many kids, and to the overall evidence I believe he did so without molestation, but he still had an unmet heart need.
Would it were that he had known about coming into the Kingdom of God like a little child. Jesus and God the Father would have taken care of his every need. I doubt he knew.
Oh Baloney......”searching for the childhood he missed”....Jackson was not a victim apart from his own decisions he made throughout life.
He wasn’t searching for his childhood...he simply refused to grow-up...
...so you have a child hanging his kid over a balcony to show the world he’s an unfit parent.... Marrying the daughter of his musical idol so he can feel closer to him and raise little idols to carry on the names.... You have a guy who distorts his face thru various addictions to plastic surgery til he looks inhuman and he has no nose left..and then wonders why he couldn’t sleep at night?
all the while he reverts to illegal drugs and further addictions....becomes a Muslim and somehow thinks that will do the trick to change his sordid life....and along the way to somehow continue to imagine he remains “King of Pop” while the entire world has moved on.
He made his choices as everyone does...including others who have had horrible childhoods and manged to rise above it. Michael Jackson was not willing to do the hard work to change his situations....he wanted the “Easy fix” to escape what he had become.
I have no doubt at all ‘God was very active’ in attempting to draw him to Himself...Michael Jackson wanted it on his terms.
