August 19, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson's mother Katherine Jackson and his father Joseph Jackson are going to separate after 60 years of marriage, according to a report.

The 80 year old Katherine has filed for a divorce following the blame by her husband that she was reason for her son's death. This accusation was made in an interview. Speaking about the death of his son Michael, an outspoken Joseph said that he begged his wife to go and stay with her son but she did not do that saying Jackson required his privacy.

Katherine, who has the sole custody of the Michael's children, was heartbroken with this allegation. 13 year old Prince Michael, 12 year old Paris and eight year old Blanket are still heartbroken over the death of their father.

A long time family friend of Katherine's was quoted as saying that she had enough after sixty years and had been humiliated by Joseph for so many years. The friend added that she is absolutely enraged and cannot bear anymore. This news is no surprise following such harsh accusations from her husband and that too after the demise of the star.
