"What I Really Wanted Was A Dad"

Sobering quote here for parents from a recent article on Michael Jackson:

"I come before you not as an icon of pop," he said, "but as a representative of a generation that no longer knows what it is to be children. What I really wanted was a dad. I wanted a father who showed me love, and my father never did that. He seemed intent on making us a commercial success. But what I really wanted was a dad."
