I think the whole family is/was kind of in denial about that, in part because I truly believe that Priscilla herself has complicated feelings towards him and really loved him despite or maybe because of the grooming and emotional abuse.

She def fed Lisa Marie an idealized image of their relationship. I feel sad that even as an adult Lisa Marie was never able to realize that her father did terrible things to her mom but that kind of realization is really painful to have.

Probably harder too when her dad had died. Trying to work on hard things when the parent is deceased is literal hell.

And her dad died before she was 10 she was a kid

Yeah and tbh I can’t fault Priscilla because she was a victim who probably didn’t have the tools to realize what happened back then.

And Lisa was a very young child when he died. I gotta give them both grace for this.

hate to say it but they all financially relied on ELvis and his image. So if that image is damaged then it means less $$$$. It's why I have always questioned Priscilla's story. Of course she is going to say they didn't have sex until she was 18 or whatever!
