Baldwin Apologizes...

Just two days after Alec Baldwin's terrible phone message to his daughter went live he has apologized. Will this help fix this terrible thing? Only time will tell, after the tape was aired Kim and Alec had to have a court hearing and he is temporarily not allowed to talk with or see his daughter until their next hearing which should be May 4th. I do hope that Baldwin will be able to see his daughter again, however I'm pretty sure he'll have to go through some anger management classes at the same time.

This is his apology that he wrote from his website (www.alecbaldwin.com):

Thank you to everyone who has posted messages of suppport and understanding. Naturally, it is not best for a parent to lose their temper with their child. Everyone who knows me privately knows that 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 embarass me and to disrupt my relationship with my daughter.

In such public 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 court room.

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. I'm sorry, as everyone who knows me is aware, for losing my temper with my child. 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. But I am equally sorry that a court order was violated, which had deliberately been put under seal in this case.

Once my book is published, I'm sure more people will understand the incredible strains created by parental alienation.

In the meantime, I'm sorry to anyone who's taken offense from this episode.
