At the time there was a lot of things wrong with Ozzy. He did poorly in school because he had ADHD and I think dyslexia, or maybe just the ADHD, but back then they didn't diagnosed things like that. He wasn't learning and eventually dropped out. He had very low self esteem that he tried to cover up with humor, drugs, and strange antics. Ozzy had been addict since he was young and leading Black Sabbath. He lived a really poor life, but had a good family. Then one day while he was still with Sabbath, touring I believe, his Father died. He had a great relationship with his Dad so this crushed him and he got into drugs even more. It got to a point where it was binges everday, then he got kicked out of the band and continued to spiral down. There are severe long term affects of drugs and alcohol even when do them for short time. Ozzy used them a majority of his adulthood, so naturally he seems a bit loopy in the brain. Whenever he did get clean throught his life, something else traumatic would happen, like the death of his good friend Randy. Ozzy only knew one way of coping with his feelings which was abusing drugs and doing insane shit while under the influence. My reason for saying all this is that I don't think it's necessarily fair to view Ozzy and his family only on the surface. He has done bad and crazy things, but he also struggled with a lot demons, and most of the wild things he's done that he gets judged for are completely superficial and done when he wasn't in his right mind.
I would call Ozzy a man because even though it literally took him decades to get clean, he still did it and is sober today. He gave a crap finally and got his shit together. He fixed his broken relationships and started working on getting himself well. Some addicts, especially if they've been using for so long, will just say "fuck it, this is me now." But he didn't do that. I respect Ozzy for that. I agree that they're family had a lot of issues during those times, but I don't think they should be seen as crazy people and mocked because they were dysfunctional. They didn't chose to have a severe addict as the head of their household and they certainly didn't revel in it like their dysfunction was something to be celebrated. The good thing is that they've got their shit together now. I like the Osbornes. They're an example of trudging through ridiculous rough times together and being a support system for someone in your family through uber thick and thin.
