(need to get tis out)
IAPETUS: i understand where you are coming from. In the case of hollywood folks there have been a number of times where children of famous actors or famous whatever have been thrown to the side for their own careers. Emotinally cut off but financially well off. In this case you may be onto something:
Sage Stallone Death: Edd Filiti, Sylvester Stallone's Nephew, Criticizes Actor For Neglecting Son
Stallones nephew blasting him for pretty much turning his back on his son when he needed him the most. If his nephew who I believe is not lying here and is telling the truth then Stallone is a worthless shit! I could care less how many fucking movies he's been in! Arnold was a great bobdybuilder and movie star and in his old age turned out to be a slime ball by baging his own house maid and having a kid by her!
Still, it's a very sad thing to see any child have to go to this extreme for whatever reason. Especially if he was doing it to get his dads attention. I had put my relationship with my own kids and wife on the back burner for years while in Med School. Nothing mattered more to me then finishing. I am sure my children have suffered emmotionally greatly in my absence, and I can not go back and change things. But what I can do is move forward. I am thankful that my kids are all grown now and have their own lives, and finally see what I did was in the best interst of them financially if not emmotionally.
Hopefully this young mans passing will wake up some of the dads in this world and let them know the times they spend with their sons (and daughters) mean a great deal to a child. Even if your parents didn't spend time with you. You spend some time with them! And thus you can avoid something as horrible as this in your own life. God Bless the dads in this world! And RIP SAGE STALLONE.....
(just wanted to get that off my chest, sorry folks)
