If that happened between my husband and I, I would also do anything I could to make sure my kids were NEVER in that situation again, and especially not while they are still children. Alcoholics relapse even after getting sober. I wouldnât take the chance no matter how reformed he seemed, and I certainly wouldnât take the chance that I wouldnât be there to help them.
I cannot imagine feeling any other way as a mother. There is no excusing abuse, and there is no reason she has to forgive him for it. I donât care if it happened once or repeatedly. Thereâs a line you cannot cross, and once itâs been crossed, itâs over. Good for her for having always been there for her kids. You can say a lot of things about Angelina and her weird past (especially pre children), but sheâs never shown anything but dedication towards her kids.
You are essentially saying you would try to sever your childrenâs relationship with their father, the way Jolie has done. In the normal world, Brad would have received some sort of custody of his children. Even alcoholics get to see their children, and he got sober. Jolie used her wealth and position as a celebrity to hire a private judge, have him disqualified and upend the normal family law system. I find her quotes about her children learning that some people have too much power and privilege to be held to account to be ironic, because she wouldnât have achieved what she did in terms of child custody without her power and privilege.
