Lisa Marie Presley, ex-spouse of Michael Jackson in the legal sense of the word anyway, whose til-death-do-us-part-commitment to Jackson lasted 20 months, is torn up.
Don't know alot of ex-spouses who would be as seemingly ripped apart at the passing of an ex as she seems to be.
But then, maybe the fleeting nature of thier life-long commitment allowed her to maintain some not so nasty ex-style feelings.
Presley writes that her relationship with the pop king was too emotionally
taxing. "I became very ill and emotionally/spiritually exhausted in my
quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the
awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around
him", she says. She confesses to being ".. in over my head while trying."
I get it. Some people in desparate need of help suck you in and down. Bottomless pits of need who keep sucking until you grab the largest white flag you can find and waive it desparately back at 'em and then run and hide.
But her current oozing of emotion for the man is sounding a little hollow, gotta say. Even if she, personally, was in over her head and couldn't help him anymore, okie doke. We all have just one life; its so ok not to dedicate it to someone else's nuttiness. But if she loved the guy as she claims, seems she woulda found a way to substitute her own amatuer intervention in the form of a short marriage with some sort of professional help for the guy.
