Alec Baldwin has publically apologized for his angry voicemail to his daughter, Irelend, placing the blame on the stress of his custody fight with Kim Basinger.He says, "I have a normal relationship with my daughter."
"I'm sorry, as everyone who knows me is aware, for losing my temper with my child," the actor writes on his website. "I have been driven to the edge by parental alienation for many years now. You have to go through this to understand. (Although I hope you never do.) I am sorry for what happened."
He added: "I have endured a great deal over the last several years in my custody litigation. Everyone who knows me privately knows that certain people will go to any lengths to embarrass me and to disrupt my relationship with my daughter."
"I am sorry for what happened," Baldwin wrote on his Web site. "But I am equally sorry that a court order was violated, which had deliberately been put under seal in this case. Although I have been told by numerous people not to worry too much, as all parents lose their patience with their kids, I am most saddened that this was released to the media because of what it does to a child," he wrote.
He said that in high-profile cases, "your opponents attempt to take a picture of you on your worst day and insist that this is who you are as a person. Outside the doors of divorce court, I have friends, I have respect from people I work with and I have a normal relationship with my daughter. All of that is threatened whenever one enters a courtroom."
He is planning to write about about the "incredible strains created by parental alienation."
(Parental alienation, a hotly debated topic in custody cases, is a situation in which one parent is said to alienate the child from the other.)

Mr. Reyes:
ReplyDeleteMy name is Alan Millard. I am president of Men and Fathers for Justice, and author of the book, Equality: A Man's Claim. Our organization is involved fighting against the prevalent discrimination and prejudice against men/fathers in our society, with parent alienation at the forefront of the problems caused not only by many parents, but by the court system allowing it, and catering to its effects. I would like help getting in touch with Mr. Baldwin in rallying for his cause, as well as contribute written pieces and information to you. Please provide me with any information that may lead me to Mr. Baldwin's contact. I'd also be happy to send him a copy of my 563-page book. Thank you.
