an article on the Baldwin brouhaha<\/a> that resonated with me. It is
\nthe sort of article that I halfway love while at the same time
\nwondering if I am missing something and shouldn’t be loving it. Perhaps
\nI should be full of indignation and righteous anger?<\/p>\n\nOn the other hand, the sad unfunny part of the Baldwin\/Basinger saga is that it might be the beginning of one more sad
\nestrangement between a parent and a child. <\/p>\n
I think that Alex Baldwin does love his daughter Ireland
\nand that his anger is evidence of his love. He is hurt. She is only 11.
\nHe is reacting as though she is older and more mature and should know
\nenough not to hurt him. But she is only 11 and caught in the middle.
\nShe is so lucky to have a father who cares so much about her and who
\nloves her, regardless of whether he is so angry that he calls her a pig
\nwhen he is hurt. She is so fortunate. But there is a very good chance
\nthat Ireland won’t see it that way and that this may be the beginning
\nof a long and painful estrangement.<\/p>\n
