This is going to land his butt in some serious trouble this time. Threatening HENCH is considered sport. Threatening Henry Hyde and his family is politically correct. Threatening your 12 year old daughter because she didn’t answer you phone call is NOT.
I am divorced. My son went through it with his dad, although I had custody. I never asked for any limitations — it was open visitation — just call and he’s yours. I’d send him off a happy kid, and he’d come home angry. The only thing I insisted on was the court mandated child support (which is incredibly insufficient). He hid income, he was a putz — no doubt about it. I gave my promise to love, honor and cherish him so long as we both lived — it doesn’t matter what he does. It’s what I do that matters. I kept the door open, I never said an evil word against my ex, and guess what — I have them BOTH now — Putzy is back home, but he’s learned a few lessons. My son gets it. My ex gets it.
I can’t tell you how to run your life, but if you keep it out there, keep it balanced (if you have to bite through your lip to do it), just keep on keepin’ on and teach your children to love each other, their mother and you — YOU WILL WIN.
Wow. That’ll win her heart...

Thank you for sharing your story. I have come to realize that more of us than one could ever imagine come from backgrounds that are, shall we say, less than desirable. In most cases, no one would know because 1. In ‘those days’ everything was kept secret, and 2. Many, like you, have indeed ‘overcome’.
God bless. I hope you share your story with others because people need to know that what they see as a ‘good life’ often reflects enormous amounts of perseverance.
I don’t know why people are surprised at what this punk does. He needs to be taken out behind a woodshed and have the ever loving crap stomped out of him.
I can gaurantee you he’d never talk to an adult male like that, especially if it was man to man and nobody their to save his pussy ass.
Thank you. My father would have wanted me to make it better for everyone I can. When he passed, his funeral was so packed with people my mother and I had never met. They’d come up and say, “You’re father helped me when I was out of work and so down and out.” His secretary was so over-wrought, she couldn’t come to the wake. I held the receptionist while SHE cried. She’d been a kid out of high school when she got a receptionist’s job at the company. He’d helped so many. The funeral procession was over two miles long (on 4th of July weekend). His story is one of sacrifice and love, and I’m so grateful God gave me to him. Yes, he’d be glad to know I shared his story. I’ll give his picture a kiss tonight and tell him “You just can’t keep a good man down.” ;-)
What was it your ex did that made your son so angry when he was with him?
The point is, I kept it steady. If the ex didn’t want to be married to me — that was his choice. I couldn’t make him love me, but I wasn’t going to do anything to get even, because my kid deserved the best parenting I could give him. I had “Dad” for every Christmas, birthday, Thanksgiving, Easter. The fact that he never brought a gift, never tried to be a father was hurt enough for my kid. So, I made up for it by loving my son, sending him off as happy as I could, even though he didn’t see his father for years. Dad was off realizing all the dreams I held him back from.
You just have to call and even if they don’t pick up the phone, leave a message. If Baldwin had just had the presence of mind to say (no matter WHAT he was thinking), “Hi, honey. I’m sorry I missed you. Just wanted to let you know I’ll be there on Friday and I can’t wait to see you,” he would have been able to salvage his dignity (as it turns out). After he got there, if he’d hugged his daughter and laughed with her, taken her out for lunch (and shopping — girls LOVE shopping), THEN he could have said, “You know, I really, really miss you and I get so sad when I can’t even call and talk to you” (NEVER, NEVER mention Mommy). “I hope the next time I call you’ll be there, because I bite everybody’s head off when I don’t get to talk to my best girl.”
Tell her to be good to her mother, tell her to always say her prayers and one for him, too. What kid, after years, won’t get the idea that something’s wrong with this picture. Daddy is always happy and loving. Mommy is always saying mean things about Daddy. In time, maybe Mommy will get over her fear that she’ll lose whatever she has left of you and MOVE ON.
She doesn’t have to move back in, but the kid(s) do(es)n’t have to be the collateral damage. See, it’s so easy a Caveman can do it. ;-) I’m making no promises, but remember the two women who claimed the child was theirs in the Bible. The one who said she lied so the child would live turned out to be the real mother? Solomon was wise, indeed. You can be, too. I know your pain (”know” in the Biblical sense). I don’t just “feel” it (”feel” in the Clinton sense). It isn’t just about your feelings, it’s about your kid(s) future(s).
Wow, CG, lots of wisdom in your posts. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Remember folks, we don’t see ourselves as the exes did (do).
If they do not change their attitude toward you, you can change yours toward them.
“You are a ____ __ _____!”
“You know, you may have a point there; but what I am now, is not what I was. Please try to forgive me for the things I’ve done that has hurt you so.
I’ll do better in the future: promise! ;^)”
(It deflates the argument if you won’t argue!)
AFTER my husband (who’s a licensed MSW who TRAINS social workers) heard the clip of Baldwin’s rant, he picked his jaw up off the floor and said that NY had better be on that child’s doorstep with a social worker AND a police officer! Baldwin made threats and they’re NOT to be taken lightly!
Dad doesn’t just talk like a jerk, he is a jerk. Never liked the POS and never will. Perfect for hollyweird.
Too bloody late!
Maybe so, but in this case, I really can't say I blame her for that. Remember, she divorced him over his abusing her.
After listening to his threats, I think I would have legitimate cause to fear for my child's safety. Actions have consequences, and it doesn't matter if you're Alec Baldwin.
He ought to listen to his brother Stephen and get himself saved.
I agree with you 100% but he’s a liberal left movie star, he’ll get away with a slap on the wrist.
He might be toast, but I am sure he pays his child support on time!!!
I hope you enjoy talking to your family through a sheet of glass....tick tock...tick tock....tick tock.
