I know that this has got nothing to do with anything as compared to a celebrity whose life can be even worse, especially in Macaulay's case.

    I can relate to not allowing my children to meet their grandfather. Mine was abusive verbally and physically. My divorce in 2002 I learned he threw his 4 year old grandson across the room. I had just won custody of my 6 year old daughter and 4 year old son. It took everything I had to not go after him my self physically, but that day a decision was made and I have held to it to this day. I remarried and have two grown girls in college that will never know him. It's unfortunate and I almost allowed it once letting my guard down. Never will I again. Sadly he was a military hero and beloved by many in his community, but unfortunately there is a dark side many people never saw.

    Kit culkin reminded me of my father- he was the guy who never got anywhere athletically. At 5 I started sports and was only in sports my father enjoyed watching. At one point I was told that my Christmas present was my rep uniform when I was picked out for. If I played poorly I was yelled at or at times beaten . By the time I became a adult I hated playing sports and quit . I became addicted to drugs, was grossly overweight and was homeless. I’m now approaching 40 and clean and in the best shape of my life and have a beautiful family. This is something I’d never impose upon my children what my father did to me! I’m now estranged from my parents and I don’t regret it for a second! This is a msg to all parents to let your children be who they want to be.

Though besides that first bath and a few cute and funny moments where you only see my kids face and maybe hos shoulders, i always thought it was weird to just take pictures of him naked, lol.

    I love him! People are just Soo messed up! I grew up watching him all my life and always pray that he would find happiness and so glad he did! I never believe what bad things social media say about him or even Michael Jackson people just need to leave them alone I cried when MJ died I could imagine what Mac was going through and now knowing about he’s father Soo sad he doesn’t need that in he’s life losing someone dear to you it is really hard and tend to get lost in life so I understand what he went through.. I’m just so happy he is doing so much better now!! w/o him I wouldn’t be the person I am today… Home alone was one of my fave Christmas movie n always watch it every year.. Keep it up! Take care Mac and thanks for Video dude you’re amazing!! ❤
