Party Animal Justin Bieber May Have Had Some Big Help From His Father?
By now you have heard of Justin Bieber’s latest adventure in jail after racing a Lamborghini under the influence of many things: alcohol, marijuana and prescription pills, no less!… The classic story of the young pop star with too much money and too many options, we have seen this so many times before I couldn’t care less. But The Guardian is reporting there may be another element in this too common story, an element I had never heard about before and I wonder why.
According to the Guardian, hours before being arrested in Miami, Bieber was partying with his father, who even helped ‘to block off streets so his intoxicated son could drag race the rented car’. What? So Bieber is not totally this self-centered out-of-control little asshole (or may be he still is) but he gets some big help from his dad? That was a surprise to me. Meaning we don’t always have all the data, the Biebs may be doing wild crazy things but I thought his parents had lost total control, and this changes a bit the equation. In any case, it’s not at all good news according to Manhattan psychoanalyst and author Jamieson Webster:
‘When the parent participates with the child in this way, the result often seems to get close to death because death is, for the child, the only way to separate. Whether the parents are overshadowing, enmeshing or living vicariously through them, it’s always a relationship that’s grown too close. The kids are desperately looking for a way out so they act out in ever more destructive ways.’
Bieber’s mother is trying to send son and father in rehab, but why would they listen? They have too much fun at getting high together. Just look at Bieber’s move à la Michael Jackson when he was released from prison, celebrating rather than repenting. As for Jeremy Bieber, I knew nothing about him, and his tweets sound like biblical quotes… it’s a bad sign: ‘Worry about the log in your eye before judging the spec in mine! I will answer to my maker as will you!’ ‘I can protect my kids, but I can’t protect them from you and your lies. Believe in the truth not in the lies of the enemy’… A father who has disappeared 20 years ago and shows to do drug-fueled parties with his son,… a recipe for disaster.
