Cher's son files objection in conservatorship battle. Cher’s son is fighting back in his conservatorship battle with his mother. Elijah Blue Allman filed an objection to Cher's request for a temporary conservatorship, according to court documents obtained by People magazine on Tuesday 9 April. Allman stated that in addition to not needing one, he also believes his mother is "unfit to serve”. "My mother's petition raises dual concerns that I suffer from some mental illness and that I live hand-to-mouth using my trust distributions to buy drugs and place myself in mortal danger," Allman said in the filing. ”As I have mentioned in previous pleadings, I have struggled with addiction, but I am not mentally ill.” Allman admitted that he has been inclined to engage in self-destructive behaviours, but stated he wants to solve his own problems. ”The only person who can save me from my demons is me," he insisted, "and I'm doing just that.” He further argued that he has taken steps by retaining counsel and an accounting firm to assist him in managing his finances. Allman is a musician who goes by the stage name P. Exeter Blue I. He is the son of Cher and her second husband, musician Gregg Allman.
