I understand what the Jacksons are going through. They are fighting over money of the king of Pop. The brothers and sisters feel they should be entitled to more than they are getting and all the money is given to the Mother and Michaels children.
In my family my parents are still here and Im staying with them temporarily and my brother and sister are attempting to decide what is in the best interest of my father and mother despite what they say. But when my parents need help they are too busy to help while I am there staying there temporarily as a live in caregiver. I have my own family but because of circumstances I need to stay there temporarily. They dont like that but my parents 89 and 83 love it. They have someone there after the caregivers leave at 6pm. Im there from 6pm to 6am watching them and taking care of them. My father has fall and my mother cannot walk. Also I am able to run errands and take my mother to the church meetings she wants to go to.
But all my brother and sister see is the gas money my father helps me with and the few things I buy my kids and they say I am trying to exploit. I make 1700 every two weeks which I am saving most to buy my own place I am not exploiting my parents they must have someone there to help.
Whay do yall think?

i think in every family, there are always a fight between money and obligation...well some people are too greedy for money and that is the fact..jealousy always occurs for siblings specially if their parents are too old already
