Rebbie Jackson Talks Mental Health, Brother Michael
http://www.citysbest.com/charlotte/news/2011/04/06/rebbie-jackson-talks-mental-health-michael/
Rebbie Jackson is the eldest of the famous Jackson family: daughter of Joe and Katherine, and sister to Jermaine, Michael, Tito and Janet....there are nine of them altogether. Yes, that Jackson Family.
She's in Charlotte tonight for the "Pick up the Phone Mental Health Awareness" Tour: a concert that supports a cause that is personal to her family.
Mental health is something that's close to your heart because of your daughter?
Yes. In fact I'm affiliated with NAMI, which is National Alliance of Mental Illness. And about 10 years ago, I found out that she was bipolar. It took about 10 years medically to get the right diagnosis. It was something that I was just unaware of. I knew nothing about it. So the purpose of the tour is to bring awareness to that, because there are so many people out there who suffer from it.
Do you think the stigma attached to mental illness has changed?
Yes. I think it's getting a little bit better. There's always been secrecy, whether it's schizophrenia, post traumatic depression or whatever. There are so many college students that are even committing suicide.
So what's the message you want to give?
Not to be ashamed. I found out that with the proper medicine it can be handled. It took my daughter 10 years, going from one medicine to the other before she got the proper help. You also need the assistance of the family. There's a lot of love that has to be generated to help it.
Is your daughter doing well now?
She's doing very well. In fact, she has a book that's she just published. It's a book of poems and it deals a lot with that. Also, she's working on a documentary. The point is, it's so important for people to know that there can be help. People don't have to suffer. I was told that signs don't show until you're about 22 years old. You can be very normal growing up, then bam! That's what happened to my daughter.
Speaking of normal, you grew up the eldest sibling of the famous Jackson family. Can you tell a story about growing up around your siblings?
There were many times we wouldn't have a television, because of the inclimate weather [in Gary, Indiana], and the television wouldn't work, and we would get together and the family would sing. Yeah, that did happen quite a bit. We'd entertain one another, and one thing is for sure, with that many kids there was never a dull moment.
How is everyone doing?
Everybody seems to be coping and doing O.K. It's been very difficult. But people all over have problems. I don't want to paint the picture that our problem is so much worse than everybody else's.
Is there something of Michael's that is close to you that you have to keep his memory near?
Well, there was a book that he had and I have, and he wrote in the book. And also there was a ring that he gave me, and I have it with me right now; and his makeup case, I carry it with me.
How are Michael's kids?
They're doing fine. Going to private school and socializing and meeting with other kids, which is something they didn't do as much at one time.
Do you do a lot of performing still?
Yes. I've been getting back into it. For a while, after my brother passed, I couldn't even stand to listen to a song of his. But, it's gotten a lot better, and I think it's like closure.
Rebbie Jackson will perform in Charlotte at the McGlohon Theatre, 130 N. Tryon St.; 704-372-1000 for the National Alliance on Mental Health "Pick up the phone" Tour Wed. April 6th at 7pm. To purchase tickets go to

why do members of this family keep inserting this and the 'normal' word every chance they get? you would think by their choice of words Michael had these kids locked up in a dungeon or something!:smilerolleyes:

I really hope Rebbie is talking about the schooling and stuff and not the socializing with friends. Janet is the only sister that's doing a better job about not talking about the kids lives....
