I agree with Open Eyes about Michael. I also do not think he was an abuser. My therapist, in discussing with me about my possible body dysmorphic disorder and adult child syndrome, said that he most likely had things, and there there are a lot of therapists who use him as an example. Being told he was ugly, not only by family but by fans when he became a teenager, being burned in the 80s and having a skin disorder that changed his appearance very drastically (and before anyone brings up the skin bleaching theory, it has actually been confirmed from his autopsy that he really did have the disease he said he had), what that would be like for a human being I can only imagine. It would be nice to know of a few celebrities who do have ptsd, that was just the first person that came to mind. Of course in having ptsd as we all know is something a sufferer is rarely about to share. But having someone famous come out would really bring it into the spotlight and create a bit more understanding.
Thanks for this!
