Why did Michael jacksons dad abuse him?

Answer 1

He didn't hate him. When ever Michael and his brothers were practiced a dance move or something and they didn't do it right ther father would beat on them. Michael Jackson said these words in an interview. I remember when I heard my mom yell "Joe stop your going to kill him!"-Michael Jackson. So after all that the answer is no.

Answer 2

Joseph Jackson was reportedly abused by his own father, and Joseph unfortunately passed that tradition on to his own children, not knowing any other way to parent. (His children fortunately broke that cycle of abuse.)

That's a question only Michael Jackson's father can answer.

Answer 3

Some say that he was abused because he didn't work hard enough on his songs, but you can never tell what made someone abuse someone else. It could be something that happened when the father was younger you never know.

Answer 4

In many interviews, Michael stated that his father, Joseph would abuse him. His father was very strict with his kids, but he would also cheat on his wife, Katherine who Michael was very close with. He loved his mother very much, and it hurt him to see his father treat her like that. Joseph also had a love child with the woman he cheated with. Plus, Joseph never let Michael have a real childhood because he was always working. Joseph even refused to let his kids call him "dad". They had to refer to him as "Joe" or "Joseph". All this adds up to why they didn't have a good relationship.

Answer 5

He didn't hate him he disliked him and they way Joe treated him when he was growing up because he was abusive, he would beat Michael.
