as well all know michael was never allowed to call him daddy as a little boy and dad as an adult joseph never showed michael any affection towards him at all he never huged him and never said i love you to him not once as a kid and not once as an adult

first
when michael was little joseph always inlisted in him and his siblings that they were not allowed to call him dad he always said to them that its not ok to call him dad or daddy its joseh to them he always was a strong disciplinarian to his children

second
when michael and his brothers would practice for shows or tours joseph would always watch them like a hawk he would sit in a chair and have this serious expersion on his face and would watch them very closely like a hawk watching there every move and step making sure if they were to mess up then michael or one of his brohters would get it

third
michael once said that his father would always make him an example by saying do it like michael even though michael would hate the fact that he was always be put on the spot like that by his father as we all know michael hated leaving home and being far away from his mother and sisters and not seeing them for a long period of time sometimes michael would hide so he would have to go but joseph would always find him crying saying he didnt want to go and didnt want to sing anymore all michael wanted is to be a regular kid and just play with other kids and meet new friends
joseph would always grab him out of the hiding place that he would be hiding and put him in the car still crying and not wanting to go at all joseph didnt care about the fact that he didnt want to go he just didnt want to hear it

last
the only grown up friend that michael had was his tutor rose fine the only true friend that he had while he was away from his mother she was like a mother figure to michael she would hug him and comfort him when he needed it
