Bennifer Revisited

But this hard-living, bloated, alcoholic drug addict white man whose best days are far in the rearview mirror? Couldn’t be me. Jennifer Garner got the best of him and now J. Lo gets the version with liver cirrhosis.

They're both limited in different ways, both sort of broken in parts. Lots of psychological issues in both...

Oh no! People are being mean about a celebrity on the internet??? What’s the world coming to?!

I honestly have nothing against her personally. But she does seem to make terrible choices about the men she has relationships with.

You’d hope someone with all her money and fame would make better choices in her very public relationships

They're now getting used to having a "3rd dad" in their lives. C'est la vie for some kids when their parents can't sustain a long term relationship.

They’re used to it and will be fine when this ends.

We often see the result when kids share with the school counselor. No, not always just "fine."

Her daughter especially seems particularly sensitive and protective of her mother, maybe reflecting a deeper dynamic of her intuitively deeply sensing her mother's/pain/ vulnerability. One one hand, if not long term, this speaks to her having raised a sensitive, loving child. If it is a deeper, more ongoing feeling then it suggests she, JL, actually needs to get help for herself...that her issues put her daughter in the unfair, adult like position of worrying about her mother. Her daughter seems to have the sensitivity to intuit that her mother might not quite be ok. And that is the kind of thing that changes you as a daughter...if so, that would be a very sad position for both her children. Or any child in that position..

Her daughter is at an age where it looks like she might have more maturity, judgment and emotional strength than her parents.

Her daughter is 13 and has no social media. So exactly how do you know all this?

The grandmother probably provided a significant level of stability.

I did not say I knew anything, I just shared my thoughts about her daughter's sensitivity, (a good thing) evidenced in her daughter's new book about prayer. She spoke of how she prays for her mother. I pieced together my thoughts about what that may reflect. Social media has nothing to do with it...her children recently had a profound loss in her recent breakup. They know her intimately and having worked with daughter's of certain kinds of parents...I shared my concern the daughter carries a certain level of ongoing worry about her mother. I also said she may not.

Let's not pretend celebrity does not have a profound effect on the children of celebrities. Celebrities openly acknowledge it can be a great burden in addition to its advantages. It is a given in terms of something to be dealt with...some come out well and the children are healthy. Others, less so. But it is not nothing.

Yeah, it also can have them set up for generational success they wouldn't see if they were the child of a non-celebrity. Gwyneth Paltrow is the daughter and granddaughter of Hollywood celebrities. She had an in before she was even born.

Yes and she has shared the way celebrity (her own) f'd her up too. Her father confronted her about it too actually, she told this story on maybe a British talk show...I can't remember the name of it. It's not been a cakewalk according to her words.

Garner is in Cannes with one or both daughters. She may not even know.

I think he is still pining for Ana and this has moved so quickly he doesn't know which way to look.

And he's letting her dress him in matchy-matchy outfits.

I had hopes for this reunion but not now. I don't think it will last.

I don't know what will happen with Ben and JLo, but I doubt that Ben is pining away for Ana. He could have kept her if he married her and had kids with her, but he didn't want to. She seemed like a standard rebound fling, a divorced middle aged dad dates a much younger single, childless woman but ultimately won't marry her and start a second family. I hope all parties involved (especially the kids) end up ok.
