FACEBOOKI definitely relate to parent alienation! I was married to an abusive husband who encouraged our son to use drugs, burglarize people's homes because I wouldn't condone this behavior. My husband had our son calling me b*****, bleep and slut starting at the age of 3. My husband died almost two years ago and my son is still in the throes of this parent alienation. It destroyed our relationship. When a parent tells a child it's okay to use illegal drugs and do anything they want with no boundaries...to a child that sounds great but, in the end, it destroyed him. He's 19 years old and is now a member of a gang, a drug dealer and has me on a "hit list." Parent alienation is a very powerful weapon. Not only does it destroy the child but also the parent who's being alienation. I know this for a fact!

Alec Baldwin responded today to the explosive voicemail to his daughter that was leaked to the media on April 19.
The actor posted the following message on his official website:
"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."

Look it up.
Attn: All Book Publishers: don't allow the book to be released on parental alination! Alec is no expert on the subject, he's not the victim in any of this matter. He is the one who alinated himself from his wife and child by his own behavior. Way to go Kim & Ireland, please make sure you stay safe and far away from this man, men like this should be behind bars for life. What has been done behind closed door, shout it on the roof top and make it public, and maybe these bad boys will get the help they need. They move on quickly, to the next new thing on their arm, they are extremely charming, but take no finacial responsiblity for there children, and despise all women, even their mothers. Stay away from him, let the chips fall, and down will be his fall. His day will come! Been there and survived! Oh yeah one more thing I hope they don't let him out of his contract, make him accountable for obligations, instead of using the excuse to spend more time with his family. If you choose to let him out of his contract, take him to court and sue him for the remainder of the contract. This is like a chest games to Alec, he plays the game and your his pawn.

If you really read what he is writing, it isnt really apologizing for what he did, he is turning the blame around on other people for what he did. What a con-man. He is still a big loser and digusts me.
It's SO WRONG to call an 11-year old a PIG.
Ireland's a PIGLET at that age.
C'mon Alec, get it right, you thoughtless PORKER.
I command his wife for releasing the voice mail.He deserve the humuliation, for what he put throught to his daughter. He deos not care about his child abuse, he care about his humilation on publice. He is selfish guy. he need to learn, so next time he will not do it to others.
No matter some of you try to defend this guy. He is a looser. He is very old guy, he have to know how to control his anger. He is very bad parent. He should not be close to his child.
Instead of apologizing , he still defending his action. He is not a good person. This shows again what stinky pig he is.
9:35 anon,
They told, and you think it should be hidden? Wouldn't that set all families back to the dark ages. Life was much better for you when it was kept a gut eating secret. I would have exposed him too. In a heart beat. He said it, he owns it.
Because, 11:00 Anon,
He called her a pig, that is verbal abuse. And second he said he would staighten her out when he saw her next. That is just scary. If you think that is normal, well pity to think of your childhood and pity to think of how your children are treated. Sorry, and I didn't yell this to you so I am sure you won't think of this as a big deal.
oh lord, he yelled at his daughter. so what? why is this news?
Alec Baldwin is a complete nut case and I've known it for years. I'm convinced he has Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). And to the person who said that all parents lose their patience. YES, I agree, but not to the point where you call them the names that he did. There's a big space between losing patience and going to the extreme he did. Not to mention, when most parents lose their patience it's because something is going on physically in front of them at that moment. His daughter was no where around. To get THAT mad and the child isn't even in the room, pulling on you, or whatever, that's sad. Just think how angry he could get if she were with him and talking. Geez, there's no telling what he would do.
Well, I guess when we all shill out abut 20-30 bucks for his "book" then we will all understand his plight. OMG he literally promotes himself while trying to apologize for his actions. Why not just say "Look I am sorry. I am human and all I can do is tell my daughter I do love her and was just having a really bad day" No I know it isn't an excuse but that crap would have been alot more beliveable than this apology.
What a crock!!! I'm sorry but his animosity toward Kim has nothing to do with his daughter. All that ranting and raving at his little girl because she doesn't want to pick up the phone is absurd. One should never speak to a family memeber like that, let alone a little girl caught in the middle of a terrible situation. He should be ashamed of himself not defending his comments. I don't blame his daughter for not wanting to talk to him if this is how he acts. She may very well be a little girl but her opinions still matter. Shame on you Alec!!!
8:48,
sure we all get frustrated @ some point, but have u ever called ur child a pig and told her she's lacking the decency to be human!?? how sad!!!
Alec I am with you buddy. I know exactly what you are talking about. We all make mistakes,but we all are human and if anyone in here can say that they have never gotten frustrated with there child I will call you a liar!
10:49: when did he beat his wife??
You can definately see his abusive tendencies, he is really a classic case. Abusers often try to make themselves appear to be the victim. "I didn't want to do that, why did you make me do that?" "It hurt me more than it hurt you" We hear this over and over again, and it is distressing that the public so easily accepts this. Alec Baldwin is no victim. He shows all the red flag signs of an abuser. Abusers often try to control the behavior of their partner once they have left the relationship. He is attempting to get to her through their daughter, which again, is not unique and is a quite predictable act of an abuser. Don't forget about how he beat his wife, I wouldn't want him near my daughter either. Any real parent would do the same. As for the leak- it does seem coincidental that he has a new book coming out that entails the subject matter at hand.
How about some new stories US Weekly. Asleep at the wheel, huh???
Kim and Ireland are snitches! What happens at home should stay in the home.
Hey Judelah, get therapy for yourself. NO ONE has the ability to make you feel anything--YOU are the only one in control of yourself! Blaming ours for your issues is so wrong.
Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger should have practiced better birth control. It's painfully obvious neither are cut out to be a good parent. I feel bad for the kid. I'm not sure how old Alec Baldwin is, but I'm pretty sure he's old enough that he should know when to keep his mouth shut. Calling your 11 yr. old names and threatening that you're flying out there to set her a$$ straight is no way to impress a judge when you're fighting over visitation rights.
I can truly understand how a parent can "lose it" when all buttons are being pushed. I've said many things to my child that I wish I could retract. However, at the time, when pushed to the very limit of reason, losing one's temper is certainly understandable. If you haven't done it yourself, maybe you were lucky enough to have a child that didn't cause you to have a melt down!
I did see Baldwin on Letterman, and he was embarassing! What preteen would like her parents to be picking on the way she dances even at a small social gathering among friends, let alone in front of a tv audience! Why is Baldwin using his daughter for subject for his interview anyway? She isn't a celebrity, she is not in a movie. Why can't he just talk about himself and what he is doing rather than use his daughter for laughs. PATHETIC! If the guy has nothing interesting to say about himself, keep him off the interview circuit.
Alec's new book, "If I did say it, this is how I was driven to it." I'm not responsible for my own actions. This 11 year old is controlling my emotions, and I can't stand it any more. Her mother has complete controll over my life, my environment, all of the dumb court people are being manipulated by her and my 11 year old pig. Can't people see how I abused I have been ?
Alec's people leaked it as a promo for his new book! Driven to the edge, my a**. He wants everyone to think he's the victim!
Anger Management
Kim Basinger is the one who is just as bad, as I said in another post. She is very manipulative in leaking this. I seriously doubt this is how he always is, yet she did this to make it seem like he was always abusive, and it seems people are very willing to fall for it. There are two sides to every story. Mr. Baldwin deserves to tell his and to defend himself against his ex's character assassination. It's unfortunate (basing what I read on this board) that people are unwilling to think for themselve's and are so easily manipulated into believing the worst. I am also pretty certain that the people who are so quick to judge Mr. Baldwin have also been in situations where they have been in a fit of rage and said things they regret. He made a mistake--he admitted it. It doesn't make him abusive or a bad person. Maybe because I've been in an ugly divorce is that I can have empathy for him.
What Alec Baldwin said to his daughter was absolutely unacceptable. However, many parents lose their cool. Couple that with the fact that he has been separated from his daughter for so long, and he can't even count on a scheduled phone call, and that would be enough to make most parents lose it. Just because he behaved poorly over the phone, that doesn't mean he is an unfit parent. Leaking the voicemail, on the other hand, was ridiculous. It was a violation of a court order, first of all. Secondly, how embarassing for Ireland! It was bad enough for her that her parents were fighting over her so publicly and so viciously, now all her friends and classmates are going to make fun of her and think her daddy is a psycho (making fun of a parent is more insulting to a child than if the child was made fun of him/herself). This shows how manipulative and underhanded Kim Basinger can be in the face of desperation. She should feel ashamed of herself! Poor Ireland! I hope she understands that her daddy still loves her (as does her mother, of course) and that she shouldn't feel responsible for their problems.
Did anyone else see this guy mocking his daughter's dancing on David Letterman just before his rage phone call? Maybe his daugher was upset about his talking about her, and using her dancing as a joke to millions of people on national tv. Maybe that is why she didn't want to pick up the phone?
