Lisa Marie Presley had a very privileged neglect upbringing 😔

I remember the family’s ex-butler and maid were interviewed of how she was brought up by Priscilla and they said after Elvis died you could tell how lost little Lisa Marie was. That she was always home alone a lot and she spent time with them in the servants quarters cuz she was lonely. They had to quit because once they brought up to Priscilla’s attention of how she was neglecting her daughter, she threatened to fire them.

That awful boyfriend of Priscilla's as well as former Scientology members said the same of Priscilla's parenting. Very neglectful, very cold, not at all ideal for a child who had just lost a parent in a very traumatic way. Lisa's former scientology handler straight up said Priscilla wasn't a good mother.

I believe this…so for Lisa Marie to mourn like she did for her father seems very much real, cuz I think she felt more love and warmth coming from her father than from her own mother. I always got the feeling that Priscilla’s affection to Lisa Marie to be rather conditional.

It must’ve been very traumatic for her to lose the one parent (Elvis) who truly wanted her around and unconditionally loved her.

Reminder that Elvis groomed Priscilla, so he's not a hero partner or parent. Priscilla has seemingly been an awful person for a long time, but let's not pretend that isn't shaped by what and who shaped her.

If Lisa Marie escaped that horrible dynamic enough to build deep bonds with her kids, all the more of an amazing feat she accomplished despite her circumstances.

It also has to be remembered that however loving Elvis was to Lisa Marie, her birth triggered some really weird and shitty changes in his poor behaviour to Priscilla. Which is entirely on him and not on the innocent child, but it'd be very unsurprising if it interfered in how she bonded with her baby.

Priscilla was more concerned about her career and love life than raising Lisa. She dumped Lisa off on Scientology whenever she was having issues with her. Add the fact that Scientology doesn't believe in psychology so there was no grief counseling...

I once read that Jerry Schilling said that a light went out in her when Elvis died....

I didn’t know that, but yup of course they don’t🙄
Same as the GOP wanting to cut education; “We don’t want you to recognize all the ways we’re manipulating you, then you’ll be able to do something about it!”

probably hard to be when you were a molested child

this! everyone here is dumping on Priscilla. she's far from perfect but we have to take into account that she was also dealing with grief over someone who essentially had groomed and controlled her since she was 14. that's a tough one to process and I bet in those days no one knew to recognize that kind of trauma (and in Lisa Marie's case generational trauma) and refer them both to a therapist. instead she sought out recovery in new age crap like scientology who were more than happy to exploit her vulnerability.

the only posts more unhinged than megan and harry posts on here are elvis posts. like theyre all just insane. "did you... did you know priscilla may have been a bad mother? 😌" my good sis was 14 years old kept heavily drugged up for a grown creep. he stopped being attracted to her and shunned her after she had a baby because she was too adult for him then. that post partum was probably enough to kill a person, at least she was around in any capacity. the most friction I see in this family is riley and marie who wanted to keep his memory absolutely spotless whereas priscilla was trying to speak some truth and process. everyone tried their best. elvis hopefully is slowroasting in hell.

Priscilla def. seems one of the types to be offended rather than worried if someone brings up their concerns about her child.

She would definitely be offended and take the stance of “I am her MOTHER, she’s fine as long as I’m here!”

Not to say nothing of wanting to dig up Elvis’s mom so she can take her spot and be next to him when she dies. Like if his only child isn’t next to him, you his ex wife probably won’t be either.
