Michael Jackson's dad, Joe Jackson, has recently pleaded his family to take him back after suffering from four strokes, it has been reported.
Sources revealed that the 86-year-old has been terrorized with the thought of dying alone and wants to try to make amends and be accepted again by all his relatives before it's too late, the Daily Star reported.
But the sad truth was that most of them go about their lives as if he no longer exists and his wife Katherine has never forgiven him for a series of flings, sources added.
Joe revealed in a blog on his website that when he was in the hospital recovering, only two people in his family travelled all the way to see him, including his grand- daughter Brandi and baby girl Janet Jackson.
The talent manager has been living in a townhouse in Las Vegas and rarely sees any of his nine children or 30 grandchildren.
