Just to let you know that I jump off the diving board, I have always been a what and why person so here is my guess....

I was thinking about Dr. Phil and how he stated that in adulthood, we enter into relationships that allow us to confront or avoid the unresolved conflicts we had as children...

If this is true, then based on recent revelations regarding MJ's father, he is locked forever in the pain he experience in his relationship with his father. He wants to make these children feel what he never felt as a child... Safe....

What he never learned, assuming that this is true, is that there is a thing called age-appropriate relationships...

I, personally, do not apologize for taking my children and holding them for a few minutes, but I would never think it appropriate for me to have a young male or female in my bed and I gain a peace of mind from seeing them go to sleep with that peaceful smile that children get when they feel safe and secure in the knowledge they are loved....

He needs to find this in adult relationships or strive to make his own children feel loved and protected. He is going to continue to have to confront the perception that he is engaging in a highly inappropriate (and possibly) illegal) relationship with a minor if he does not confront this unresolved issue... That's my speculation for the day... That will be 14 cents please...
