No, I woukd say it's the opposite. I think he moved on well before she did. All her public complaints and interviews made me think that she is not over him. He got sober and woke up.

I don't think there's anything worse than a parent turning kids against the other parent. Even if the parent was initially in the wrong and needed to get sober and make amends for the pain he caused the family. His behavior at the time was unforgivable but he seems to have done everything possible to give the kids stability and gain his share of custody after. I remember those pictures of him flying all over for reunification visits and to visit the kids on their birthdays. She did not support reunification, no matter what she says publicly, so it never happened. She made it clear to the kids that their father caused her pain, and continued to cause her pain (through litigation etc), and taught them to continue to fear him and to be loyal to her and her alone.

My impression is that she was a needy, controlling, difficult, and humorless partner and he probably feels much lighter without her. I don't think he loves Ines, but I think he will want a happier and more fun experience with his next partner. Presuming he's worked on his own issues and unhappiness, of course. They must both have some fond memories of their highs together but since the kids basically only love her now, must be awful for him to deal with his share in that, plus resentment and anger toward her for her large part in that. Even though he was in the throes of addiction, doesn't seem she's been able to forgive him for the hurt he inflicted on her and the kids. Lots of toxicity on both sides, hard to imagine them ever being remotely amicable much less still loving each other. It's sad, honestly. Above all for the kids, who could have and should have had two loving parents in their lives.

lol he attacked one of her non-adopted children on that plane, possibly two of them (i can't remember; it's been awhile since I've read the details). It's clear he view them as lesser than his bio kids. So do you mean Angelina should have been better to deal with so Brad could have a better relationship with the bio kids?

She let the kids do whatever they want, including be disrespectful to Pitt. He was drunk and lashed out in that context, and it escalated horrifically. Raging drunks are very scary to be around. It happened that the teenagers were the adopted kids. He said he felt his job was to discipline the boys. That’s unfortunate. Do you think he’s the first parent to lose it when a kid cursed at him and told him to eff off? Especially when struggling with alcoholism? It honestly sounds like he lost his mind that day. I don’t blame her one bit for leaving him.

But he evidently tried to reconcile with all the kids once sober, and the oldest didn’t want to. And Jolie didn’t want them to. So eventually the younger kids decided they didn’t want to either. It’s not rocket science. It is, however, sad that she couldn’t forgive him and encourage the kids to forgive him once he got his act together. For everyone’s sake. See Jen Garner for an example of how a parent should behave, for the sake of the kids, once an alcoholic ex gets sober. For years Jolie said what a wonderful father and partner he was, supporting her professionally with Plan B and through health scares. The alcoholism was terrible but shouldn’t erase all that. And he deserved reasonable custodial time once sober. Like Ben A has.

Ben affleck didn't drunkenly attack his kids. Comparing them is worthless

I don’t think he did. Based on the FBI report they got in the middle of the fight when Jolie jumped on his back. I’m sure someone got an unintentional smack.

No bruises or marks on the kids reported. Jolie’s bruises/scrape were inadvertent after she jumped on his back when he was raging. He clearly didn’t intend to injure anyone. With the size difference, he would have. But I’m sure he was very scary and threatening, and who knows if he ever properly atoned for that day. Or even has clear memories of his actions. I still think the kids, and even Jolie, would eventually have forgived him if he had rolled over and yielded in all the monetary and custody disputes. He probably should have, to end what turned into a war, though I dont really blame him for fighting for more custodial time with the kids once sober and for Miraval.

If the kids disown him then hopefully he will do the same and leave nothing in his will to them.

Yes. Better to leave it to his Mr. Ed lookalike rental girlfriend.

He has plenty of nieces and nephews.
