Children look up to their parents...they love them unconditionally...and those words will be remembered by his daughter always. Not because the news media ran it...but, because they were said to her, in anger, by her father.


I wish that we could know what has gone on prior to this incident. Trying not to blame either adult (nor child) in this, this is not the wordings of a man without anger... but what caused this anger is almost totally unkown and it is a very important factor in all of this.
I agree with the above statement, children generally do look up to and love their parents, but it is NOT unconditional...and it is not necessarily a given that these are the feelings felt by this child. We have no idea what has been said and or done by any of the three parties in this, so I don't think anyone can (nor should) generalize what the relationships SHOULD/COULD be.

I do feel that this family needs a LOT of help... and I truly don't feel Dr. Phil or Keith Ablow could do them justice. Freud would probably walk out on them, hands held high in the air, screaming, "I give up!!!"

Sentence him to Canada!!

Never liked Alec, like him less now, but my father has said and done much worse - he was / is much like Baldwin - hyper-obsessed with his image and appearances. But hey, I turned out ooooooooohhhhhkaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy. :)

Ireland (his daughter) will be messed up because of many things, this will just be one of them.

The only thing I liked about the tape being leaked was the break from seeing images of the shooter at Virginia Tech who should forever remain nameless and faceless.

Parenting is supposed to fun isn't it? We're having a sunny, warm weekend and yesterday before we went to the beach I tought my girls how to burn stuff with their magnifying glass. They were busy half the afternoon burning designs into wood, chasing ants, and melting plastic army men.

They'll turn out alright.... maybe.

Children do love their parents unconditionally...they are their parents. I was a social worker (in a former life) and watched, far too often, children that were abused and neglected...give their parents another chance. over and over again...even knowing that nothing has changed and they will be hurt again. Just based on the simple fact that it was their parent. They will go to extreme lengths to protect their disfunctional parents. And this...is unconditional love.

My guess would be that in this particular situation...Kim has done her best to turn this child against her father. And in turn, this child has taken on a pretective roll of her mother. But, she still loves her father unconditionally...she is just protecting her mother.
