Mackenzie's adult life has most likely been spent numbing the pain from the ultimate violation of a child by an adult.<br /><br />In Michelle's case, I suspect that what happened to Mackenzie reflects all to closely her own past... I have no proof of this, but it would fit the pattern of behaviour she has demonstrated through her actions.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241393474934762460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-27903924616879111562009-09-26T11:44:57.764-07:002009-09-26T11:44:57.764-07:00Roslyn: Thanks for your feedback.

John Phillips was probably one of the most talented songwriters ever, what that man could do with a harmony was amazing. However, Michelle married him was she was only 17 herself and he was considerably older. There is something hinky in her own background with her own father. I'm puzzled by her complaint that the nieces and nephews would be embarrassed. Uh Michelle, you talked about having adulterous affairs including one with Denny Doherty your own husband's bandmate. I think we passed the point of embarrassment with this family a long time ago. <br /><br />Of course, the family's reaction is typical, but still bizarre.roslynholcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423350501595717113noreply@blogger.com
