Franklin says Houston's mother raised her well

Whitney' Houston's mother raised her daughter well. As an adult she made bad choices, that had nothing to do with her mother. They were just bad choices with bad consequences.

People, enough is enough! Just leave well enough alone. It isn't your family. Ms. Whitney Houston wasn't your family member, neither your mother or daughter. Let her rest in peace, and pray that her mother and daughter can overcome their grief. None of us on the face of this planet can cast a stone without reproach.
Every time you post a negative comment, you are actually making yourself part of a PAST problem. Be a part of a positive out come and wish that family well.
There are bigger issues in the world now, war, hunger, slavery, homelessness, jobless families, unemployment, starvation, etc.

Whitney's mother did everything she could for her, including interventions to help with her addictions.

A child can be raised perfectly and turn out all wrong. I know...I have one of them.

rest in peace to whitney houston and my blesssing to her family.

A parent can teach a child right from wrong and give them a good upbringing... It doesnt mean that the child, when it reaches adulthood, wont decide for itself to go a different direction. Once a person reaches a certain age, they are responsible for themselves.

Her mom staged multiple interventions. There wasn't much more Cissy could have done. An addict has to first acknowledge the problem and second, want to quit. From the interviews I've seen with Whitney, she wasn't willing to do either. Children are not puppets that do as you tell them. Think about it, do you do everything your parents tell you to do?

Rest in Peace Whitney! You gave us your best, I don't know a perfect person on this earth! The picture was beautiful on the cover of the Enquire, although sad, but it does bring closure a lot of people wanted to see Whitney for the last time. I was just waiting for the National Enquire to do something, they always do! Shouldn't be no surprise!!!!

I pray for comfort & peace for Whitney's entire family. Let's stop speculating & judging others period. Let's focus on lifting each other up & stop tearing one another down. In Aretha Franklin's own words: "Think about the hits and forget the misses." I agree. We've all fallen down, but the important thing is that we get back up! Stay Positive!! :o)

The media is trying to make a story where there is no story. These people are family and friends - they love each other and have each other's back. No more needs to be said about this.

No doubt she had good intentions & did the best she could but fame is a double edged sword.

The bottom line is that Whitney was responsible for herself. After all, she was an adult. I will always miss her.

You can't blame parents for everything. Lots of parents raise several kids and only one will have a problem. People sometimes don't learn to cope well.

I will always love you and your music Whitney. Rest in peace.

No matter how well you raise them, when they become adults, their decisions are their own. All you can do is teach them the difference between good and bad. Which one they choose as an adult is not under a parent's control.

Poor judgement, sad results, DEATH is forever life is not a joke if you waste it you don't get another chance to get it right.Let this be a lesson to all who think one more time is not going to hurt me, it can kill you.

Aretha Franklin is one classy lady herself. Parents cannot be with their children 24/7. Parents can only instill good values and hope that their children will make sound, good choices.

Whitney's drug addiction while unfortunate was and is NOT a reflection of her upbringing obviously.

I don't think Bobby Brown should be rolled under the bus either.

Noone forced Whitney's hand to abuse substances and drink. That was a choice she made.

Give it a rest already!!!!!

Cissy did the best that any mother could have done. We can only raise our children. We cannot lead their lives for them.

Leave Whitney alone. Leave her Mother alone and her daughter. Karma can be quite a pain, so those of you who feel it is okay to post hateful words regarding Ms. Houston, Aretha Franklin et al should realize you will reap what you sow.
