Det måste vara bland det värsta man kan uppleva. Ett barn ska aldrig dö före sina föräldrar.
Ethans mamma försvann när grabben var bara ett halvår och Jackson fick i stort själv uppfostra sin son. I en intervju för tidningen 'Route' 2021 berättade Jackson om svårigheten att vara en bra förälder.
“It was my main focus. I only had two things that I hoped I could fit together: being a song-writer and a father. And I looked at it like this, if I have to only be a father, I hope I’ll know it, and just do that. But life’s not like that and you don’t get a notice in the mail saying you’re blowing it as a parent. You think you have the advice and the help you need, and sometimes you don’t, or you don’t heed it. The mistakes I’ve made as a parent are still with me. I think about them fairly often. It’s not that you’re not trying the whole time. It’s not that I wasn’t trying then. You’re just distracted by other things and some things don’t occur to you. Or maybe you ignore advice that you should have taken, because you’re overconfident.”
Idag lyssnar jag på "The Only Child", en av Jacksons allra starkaste sånger.
