Alec Baldwin was an abusive husband, so, of course, he's going to be an abusive father. There are films around (i.e. their going to save the elephants and they're on a plane) of Alec talking DOWN to his wife at the time. He likes to brow-beat women and anyone else who will stand for it. Kim Basinger is a easy going southern girl (Athens, GA) and she made a mistake marrying Baldwin. She does, however, have Ireland so that makes the past mistake worthwhile. It's time to sever the ties with him. Any judge should see his abuse. Archives of all sorts of films of them will show his true nature. I wish Kim would come on back to Georgia. It's not that far to LAX to ATL in time standards now. Can I say "jerk-a**" here?? In the south, only "sissy-boys", "girley-guys" push women around. ABC, thanks for the space here!
