I have always been stupefied by people who compound a bad decision to marry by refusing to divorce. Therefore, I was heartened by yesterday’s announcement that Whitney Houston has finally decided to divorce her self-described bad-boy husband Bobby Brown.
Let me hasten to clarify, however, that I am not one who holds Whitney blameless for the public spectacle her life became after marrying Bobby – as I made clear in a previous article here.
But all hopes that they would live happily ever after were summarily dashed when – before their honeymoon ended – it became painfully clear that Bobby’s notorious demons had awakened Whitney’s dormant inner (wild) child. And it was the mutual impulses of their unhinged superegos that led them on an ill-fated 14-year journey of trials, tribulations and incarcerations (all played out on TV and in tabloids), which has finally come to an end….I hope.
NOTE: It’s not too late for Whitney to put her demons back to sleep. And enveloping herself in the nurturing and spiritual love of her religious family will be instrumental in this respect.
As for Bobby, however, I fear that the scroll of his life will remain laden with so many unatoned sins that “it’s gonna take a miracle” to prevent him from going straight to hell….
Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown
