Michael Jackson's kids in therapy
Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7, have been cared for by their grandmother Katherine, 79, who is their legal guardian, since the Thriller star passed away.
But La Toya, 53, says the two boys in particular are finding it hard to cope with their loss.
'Paris thinks and talks about her father all the time,' says La Toya. 'She's doing very well, writes a lot and she wears his shirts every day.
'Her bedroom is covered in posters of Michael and she watches tapes of him all the time.
'Prince just doesn't want to speak about it. He won't even watch the DVDs - he just walks right past the TV. It's too soon, too touching. I worry about him very much.
'And Blanket is just a very sad, shy little boy. He cries - he really does cry. It's so painful for him. No one can bring his daddy back and it hurts so much.'
La Toya says the kids are getting all the support they need.
'They all go to therapy and I truly hope Prince especially will be able to open up,' she tells the Daily Mirror.
