Michael Jackson didn't have the opportunity to be a normal teen, or child for that matter. And even more crucial, he was physically abused by his father, who crushed his self esteem. You can tell his psychological problems are very deep, from his attempts to carve up his body so he doesn't look black or at all like his father. However, I have no sympathy for intelligent, affluent people who have the means to get therapy that really could improve their health and turn their lives around, who choose not to. It certainly would have been cheaper to work his way through his problems, figure out how to nurture his inner child or whatever and finally grow up, and have a reasonably happy life as an adult rather than build a monstrosity like Neverland and ruin the lives of quite a few innocent children at the same time.
