Hey Kimmi....I can't remember the exact date, but it's been within the last 12 months.

LOL, that's close enough, thank you.

I thought no one would notice she says one of the reasons for leaving him was his pill taking was out of control as soon as the early 70´s.

I think in that condition a loving wife should stay and help her husband not just to think of her walefare and comfort and to make herself low because of lack of exual relationship and etc. Don't you all think Elvis deserved a more loving and caring wife ?Maybe she was not a woman of hard days !

Basically everything prior to '73 I believe. In the end, what she did was screw her own daughter out of future earnings. Such a sweet motherlystunt to pull.

I don't see them going hungry! They are still plundering from Elvis' legacy

Nor now neither when he died. She was getting big money from him when they divorced,a house to live in, cars... even though when you see her talk of how little he had when he died and how worried she was for that I have to stop myself from going out in the street and collect money for her.
If she was so worried for the future she should have made arrangements for her daughter while her ex-husband was loading her bank account. A child is a mother and father responsability.

You know what also never ceases to amaze me about how Beaulieu presents herself? She was the poor mother, married to an irresponsible man who only cared about his own pleasures and did bad stuff like have extra marital affairs, get addicted to (prescription) drugs, live his life upside down, not having enough quality time with his only child and spoiling her to hell when he did have time with her. Thus she divorced him and, as she always claims, tried to raise Lisa like a normal child. She practically had Lisa alone with her from about age 4, 5 at most.
Yet, Lisa ends up a 9th grade drop-out who is already experimenting with drugs as a (pre-) teen and, as she herself later confessed, with sex, too. And how about Navarone Garibaldi, Beaulieus invisible son with Marco Garibaldi? He's into drugs, as well!!!! Now what kind of record is that, for such a "good" mother?
Now don't some of you come with the excuse that poor Lisa lost her father at age 9 and is still traumatized by it. You can look up earlier posts of mine in which I relate about people I know who'd lost their parents at much earlier ages and under much more traumatizing circumstances, yet all grew up to be decent, upstanding, responsible and clean adults.
Besides: Navarone DID have his father there well into his teenage years and even now.
So, what are your thoughts on it?

In my opinion it wasn't much of a marriage at all. It was all about money from Priscilla's side and it was all about losing her to Mike Stone on Elvis' part. He just didn't like being publicly embarrassed that way, Other than, wanting to give his daughther a "normal" home life, I believe that bothered him too. If Cilla came back to him he probably would've told her to get lost.
From what I've read and watching her on TV, she has zero personality witch leads me to believe she was just arm candy for Elvis.

Hehe, well, are you too afraid to shine your light on it?
After all, we all are free to post our OPINIONS, right?

A lot times it doesn't matter what kind of parents kids have - they get into drugs!! I do not believe in blaming parents - at some point you have to be responsible for the things you've done to screw up. However, there are times when you can see why kids went the wrong way. In Lisa's case, she was basically parentless after her daddy died and she was a very sad and angry child.

LOL no, I´m not. It´s just I have discussed this many times before. And yes we are all free to post our opinions

Yeah, so have I, but those threads are so old I think they may have fallen off the board!

Oh I see, just in case someone forgot it . Don´t worry, if people stop talking about her, Priscilla Beaulieu Presley Garibaldi will be here for a long time to remeber us she once married Elvis Presley.

I agree you can't always blame the parents for children getting into drugs as peer pressure in the teen years is very strong.

But if Lisa had had a parent that was more aware of what she was up to and was around her more things might have gone differently.

That's what I meant by saying I thought she was pretty much "parentless" during those critical years...Pris was too busy with her business and boys to guide her through the tempting teenage years.

I have my doubts about that diane, elvis was poppping pills when gladys was alive so it really doesn't matter what kind of parents you have to begin with and Lisa i think that was her way of not facing her problems and also getting back at priscilla.

Agreed Diane. Also, Lisa's formative years were during the early 80's, too and in Los Angeles when drugs were very much a part of the culture during this time.
