108. I'm so sick of hearing all this Alec bashing,this man is clearly a victim of parental alienation and the true abuser is his mentally unbalanced ex-wife, how vile to stoop to the lows that she has done to prevent this child from having a loving relationship with a father who is desperatly trying to maintain a relationship with his daughter.

Regarding Basinger’s mother’s description of the alienation campaign, the Irish Examiner reported:

“Kim Basinger’s mother has blasted her own daughter for wrecking relations between her ex-husband Alec Baldwin and the couple’s daughter. Baldwin recently took Basinger to court in a bid to extend his custody terms after the actress allegedly violated a court imposed settlement, and now little Ireland’s grandmother is speaking out about the court battle…she calls [Baldwin] ‘wonderful,’ adding, ‘My heart is sad for Ireland. She’s the one that’s suffering the most. All this is killing her. I think Kim has tried to alienate Ireland from her father. Alec loves his daughter with all his heart. He really is a family man…I hate what [Kim] is doing.’”

That's from her own mother,now if that doesn't tell you something, I don't know what would. Kim isn't fit to be a mother for the emotional abuse she has put this kid through.It is what it is.

109. My mother praises my father on what a wonderful man he is and how we were so lucky he didn't drink or abuse her and that he kept a roof over our head and protected us. Knowing full well that he molested both me and my sister. That's from my OWN mother so what does that tell you I.P. Freely?

110. Who would like to have a 'Paris Hilton' for a daughter???? Thank you Alex for being a true dad and being fed up with her selfish, inconciderate conduct! With 12 contempts of court hanging over Kim...and her daughter being raised by 'her' since 3 or 4...Kim needs parenting classes....and unfortunatly Alex's patience ran out...NOT PUBLICLY...the access to the phone message was on his daughters phone...so either MOM or the spoiled daughter released it..unfortunatly for the daughter.....most likely the MOM to bring public disaproval on Alex because of the custody case (7 years and still going). MORE POWERE TO ALEX AND PARENTS THAT HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF SPOILED , INCONCIDERATE CHILDREN!!!

111. I'm sorry your mother is so delusional Kaitlyn,as far as I'm concerned she's an abuser too.My daughter has to supervise people like your mother's visitaion with their kids that have been taken by CPS for failing to protect their kids even though they knew what was going on.That is not the case with Kim's mother.

Some early signs of Parental Alienation:
Children perceive one parent as causing financial problems of the other parent
Children appear to have knowledge of details relating to the legal aspects of the divorce or separation
Children show sudden negative change in their attitude toward a parent/guardian
Children appear uneasy around target parent - they resort to "one word" answers and fail to engage openly in conversations as they previously have done
Children are uncharacteristically rude and/or belligerent to target parent
Access time is not occurring as agreed upon or court ordered - visitation is being unilaterally cut back by the other parent
Hostile Aggressive Parent (HAP) parent undermines the other parent or speaks disparagingly about other parent in the presence of the children
HAP parent starts making reference to other parent as being abusive and a risk to the children with no apparent good reason
Allowing children to choose whether or not to visit a parent, even though the court has not empowered the parent or children to make that choice;
Telling the children about why the marriage failed and giving them the details about the divorce or separation settlement;
Refusing the other parent access to medical and school records or schedules of extracurricular activities;
Blaming the other parent for not having enough money, changes in lifestyle, or other problems in the children's presence;
Rigid enforcement of the visitation schedule for no good reason other than getting back at the other parent;
False allegations of sexual abuse, drug and alcohol use or other illegal activities by the other parent;
Asks the children to choose one parent over the other;
Reminding the children that the children have good reason to feel angry toward their other parent;
Setting up temptations that interfere with visitation;
Giving the children the impression that having a good time on a visit will hurt the parent;
Asking the children about the other parent's personal life;
'Rescuing' the children from the other parent when there is no danger.
Simply put, the parents engaging in such behavior are un-fit, abusive parents, putting their own emotional needs before those of their children.

112. Good luck to Bassinger and Baldwin to forget about themselves and think of their daughter. Just because you two don't like each other she shouldn't have to choose.

113. His behavior was totally wrong. I mean..."How old is this man?!" He is the adult!! His daughter will never forget the things that he said to her! It will stay with her for the rest of her life!! I have children. I would never ever think to make them feel worthless, which is exactly what he did to his own daughter. He is a typical abuser and will more than likely never change. Sad.

114. Kim B and Alec B have court agreed documents where they both agreed to concerning VISITATION and PHONE CALL times between Dad
and daughter.

Kim B does not make her follow the agreement, the courts don’t make Ireland follow the agreement and guidelines, and Dad is not allowed to get his daughter to follow the guidelines then a 11 year old has been left to learn responsibility from WHOM???

No wonder kids treat adults with so much disrespect.

115. No matter what, Baldwin is a jerk for reacting as he did, be it meant for his spouse, an adult, another adult, his child, or someone else's child! Seems like everyone is missing the point - Abuse in ALL it's forms (verbal, physical, psychological intimidation and so on) is still abuse! It damages! To expect an adult, let alone a child, to come out of a berating like that, without some kind of scarring, is incredible, to me, whether said in public or private!

116. Ireland drew the short straw on both her parents. Alec has inner rage and Kim is a vengeful meanie. Nobody with their childs best interest in mind would try to poison the kid against the parent....even if they hate them. This is immature and damaging. Ireland will grow up to hate them both. My parents divorced when I was young and they made every effort not to talk badly of eachother even though there was bad blood. I figured it out as an adult and deeply respected them both for their selfless parenting. These two are PATHETIC. Kim more than Alec. What a mess!

117. I am so tired of hearing, you have never been thru that so you do not know what it's like.
I have been on the same end as Kim Basinger. My husband was an alcoholic and never paid ANY attention to his child until he left. Then he acted like he wanted to play house.
Not only was he an alcoholic but he was an abusive alcoholic just like ALEC. I'm not say Alec was an alcoholic. I don't know about that.

I told my ex he could come and see her anytime but he could not take her anywhere because of his drinking. Long story short, the courts sided with him (HE IS THE MAN AND HE WON! I GET SO TIRED OF HEARING THAT THE WOMEN ALWAYS WIN. THEY DO NOT. I LOST A LOT OF MONEY TO THE LAWYER AND THEN I HAD TO LET HIM TAKE HER WITH HER SCREAMING AND CRYING. ) Only two weeks later he was arrested for drinking and driving and she was IN THE CAR. The police officer made a deal with him not to write that in the charges. So he got a double win. He never wanted to be with her he just wanted to win, just like Alec. He currently doesn't visit her because he's too busy.

So the women do not always win even when it is very evident that they should.
I am just sick of you men and you women (whom the man will dump for another woman eventually) put down the birth mother.

118. I've been trying to email ABC's The View but I get an error. Has anyone else had trouble emailing them? You have three selections, Barbara, Joy or Elisabeth and I have tried them all. I have even changed browsers and none of them work.

119. Alec Baldwin has no right to treat his daughter that he loves(HAHA) like that! I am a parent and if my husband treated me or my child with such evil actions and words I would try my hardest to keep my child away from that! Clearly he has a voilent temper. Amagine what he must be like behind closed doors when he doesn't have to mask it! I have no problem with him as an actor. But a parent does not run he's child down for any reason. He clearly has extreme control issues and need to grow up!

120. Alec shouldn't be apolegizing for chastising his daugter..people don't know why he did it ,,,and they don't know what lead up to the outburst....many people say things to there kids when there upset...and i'm sure he dosn't talk to her like that all the time...people are lying if they say they have never called there kids out of there name...if they havn't then i am able to say well..maybe there getting there a** wooped by there children..the parents are in control not the children...
