[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that he only spends time with his biological children is appalling.[b] My guess is he said something hateful about adoption[/b] when beefing with his oldest son, and they haven’t forgiven him. He seemed like an active, involved parent with all the kids when they were little. Hard to understand a full-on break this severe.[/quote]

The fact that you don't know the story and yet assume so much is appalling to me.  Your don't know anything so stop making up stories. ( see bolded)[/quote]

Seriously. The judge rebuked her for alienating Brad from the kids and threatened her with losing custody if she didn't allow the children to see him.

Yet she didn't lose custody and his older kids don't see him. I think she leaned hard into the alienation, absolutely, but I also think he must have done something specific so that only his adopted kids won't forgive him. They younger kids may be closer to their mom, but sounds like they are okay with him.[/quote]

It could be more subtle than that. I remember she once said in an interview she "felt more" for the adopted kids, so perhaps favored them a bit more than the bio kids. And maybe he favored the bio kids more, either to balance that or because of his own unconscious biases. So when there was a huge family break and the kids felt like they needed to take sides, it fell along that natural fault line. Anyway, unless one of the kids decides to tell their story one day, which seems unlikely, we'll probably never know what happened. But it is very sad.[/quote]

It could also be that the younger kids don't have as strong memories of his alcoholic period, and so were less traumatized and more inclined to forgive him. Some assume he did nothing wrong, but incontrovertible he was an alcoholic who behaved badly at times. Once he obtained sobriety would have been ideal to rebuild healthy relationships between all family members, but that's not easy or automatic by any means. [/quote]

Those who haven't lived with an addict should thank their lucky stars. It is absolute hell. And there was probably more natural friction with teenagers anyway, especially if they felt the need to protect their mother at times (the plane incident supposedly). The situation is almost certainly more complex than tabloids have reported. I was suspicious about Jolie because of the alienation accusation but, whatever the truth, the kids all seem healthy and pretty well-adjusted all things considered. The fact that he does see the younger kids suggests mom is open to it as long as the kids want to. [/quote]

I don’t think it suggests anything other than Brad Pitt has a good lawyer and Angelina has no cause to block them from seeing their biological father. [/quote]
