Jacksons "family" have always leeched off of HIM to support them in the style they wished to live. It is this family that bears a great deal of the blame for the condition of this pathetic soul. He was USED even by his own family because he was brining in the dough. I agree that the guy is basically trying to kill himself. He'll NEVER make another hit album again. He's a 44 year old HAS BEEN FREAK.
They leeched off him to their ultimate detriment. Had they intervened early on and gotten him help when he first showed signs of turning into a freak that may have stopped his slide. Then again, maybe nothing they could have done would have helped him avoid what he became.
