Everybody loved Whitney, but her poor daughter is still in so much pain, and it's hard to watch her self destruct.

But they did because addicts/alcoholics will stay away from those they love the most in order to keep from hurting them.

Bobby didnt really make the situation any better. As his career tanked almost immediately and he grew jealous of his wife who continued to soar and added much undo pressure to an already fragile psyche. Jealousy envy and greed are the root of all evil...... I always wondered what his role with drugs was in the relationship because she always appeared to look much worse than he. Its just sad..... I miss her <3

Thats in any family. Money doesnt change that natural order.

This woman is amazing to be so honest. She reminds me of my grandmom who is tough but loves her children. So many people said negitive things about her but she was trying to be a mother to her daughter, people dont understand this life and she did.

Im glad that she and her son finally cleared up the Bobby Brown blame for drug introduction. Im not saying that he feed it more, but only a mother could reveal the truth. I pray for Bobbi Kris and I hope that she will listen to Cissy not Auntie Pat.
