she went through a lengthy thing with the courts when she gave up custody. they grilled her to make sure she wasn't making this decision rashly. she assured them time and again that she never had the children for herself, she didn't want children, she didn't spend time with them or feel any connection to them, that they were Michael's kids and not hers. she was not around throughout their entire lives while Michael was alive. they didn't see her or know her or even know who she was. can you imagine your only parent dies and suddenly this other person is coming around saying she's your mother and wants you to come live with her? it's really sad because MJ didn't even have his parents and siblings around his kids that often, so they truly were isolated and only close to him and the staff who worked with him and the kids. it must have been highly traumatizing to be rushed into the grandmother's home with all of these people around who they barely knew. i know Paris has been interested in having a relationship with Debbie and maybe Debbie actually cares for her, but i just can't trust the intentions of someone who gave their kids up for money. i could never. i knwo that Prince does not like her at all. he thinks she's money hungry and that his father didn't want him to have anything to do with her. and of course she isn't Blanket's mother, so her offering to take him in is kind of creepy.
