According to the show’s creator, Tina Fey, he will return because he wants to do so. And, for what’s it worth, he should get an Emmy nod for his great work on that show.

On 19 Jun 2007, Jen Taylor wrote: There was absolutely no EXCUSE for this Alec Baldwin to snap at his own daughter. Makes you wonder if he is physically abusive to women and kids. I know he is emotionally abusive to people. How could he not be if he called his own daughter what he did. I pray that he DOES NOT get custody of her and that his heart is softened over time and he sees the real picture of what a father should be! He seems like such a macho jerk right now, get with it Alec, you’re an OLD man! Open your eyes to “life” and being a real human being!

She now owns rental property while I am footing the entire college education bill. My only satisfaction is that the kids grew up to recognize their mother for the selfish clueless Kim Basinger type she is, and when holiday periods come around, guess where the boys go now? When it came, the “Dad is not the enemy after all” moment was one of my best moments in life. Mr. Baldwin is dead on in that non-custodial parents (not always fathers) have virtually no control over anything except to pay thousands of dollars in lawyers fees to go whine and complain in court to a political hack of a judge who will wiggle his or her finger at the custodail parent, and nothing constructive happens. It is time for American to adopt the European model: Here are the custodial times, and if the kids are not where they are supposed to be on time, you just call the police and the offending parent is arrested and put in jail until the court hearing comes. That would stop the Kim Basinger style manipulation in a heartbeat. I lived this crap for 15 years as a non-custodial parent in America. “Family Services” is anyting but, and it is time to swing the pendulum in the other direction.

I do not in any way agree with what Alec did, but I can tell you that there are far worse things that parents say and do to their children, they just aren’t aired on every t.v channel in the world. I just hope that for all involved things are worked out quickly.

I was hurt by what he said over the phone to his daughter but I can understand the anger and the frustration he musst be feeling. Kim needs to lighten up and realize the person she is hurting the most is Ireland, not Alec. Continue fighting Alec.

On 1 May 2007, Louise wrote: Ireland should be the one person on whom both parents need to focus their love, time and energy. That said, Alec Baldwin is an actor infamous for his angry outbursts and loss of control. Perhaps someone leaked the story to the media to remind us that this man should not be writing a book on his parenting skills. Sitting down with Dr. Phil or some other mental health professional is a step in the right direction for this family in crisis.

On 30 Apr 2007, Barbara wrote: Alec is the most self-serving father I have ever known. How can he drag this through the media, ie, The View, which will put just about any psycho on the air? It was all I could do to avoid throwing up listening to him rant on and on and on. I can’t believe Barbara Walters has fallen to such a low in her otherwise illustrious career to allow it. His only interest is in clearing his own name….He has absolutly no regard for what effect this will have on his daughter!!!!

On 30 Apr 2007, Elaine wrote: To me, this sounds like a dad who is desparate to see his child and is pushed to the limits with frustration with what sounds like parent alienation. It is horrible what he said to his daughter out of frustration but it also shows a very hurt father who just wants to see his child. Of course it is even worse that it got leaked to the public. I am a single mother of a 14-y.o. boy whose father (who lives one town over) has chosen not to be in his son’s life. He has always been encouraged to see his son and has always been welcome but has chosen a wife over his child. Now to me - that is very sad and selfish!! Although not the best way to go about it, I praise Alec for going through all this with is ex and still fighting to see his child.

He needs to open up his mind and take the Dr. Phil constructive criticism seriously. It will make him a much better person…he will become an even better father and maybe even have a civil relationship with Kim. I would hate to see him quit acting; he is a wonderful actor and I wish him the best.

I am on Ireland’s side - she doesn’t deserve to be jerked around by these two parents involved in their own domestic violence dispute…. They should be mandated by the court to take parenting classes and counselling until they get this resolved. Hoping Dr. Phil can help Alec.

Don’t get me wrong yes he was wrong for what he said and for going off on his daughter but what parent don’t go off and then later regret what was said. She didn’t even give the man a chance to apologize to his kid. All she seen was a way to cause trouble between father and daughter. To me she should be glad that man want’s to be in his daughter’s life. There are alot of dead beat father’s in the world that don’t give a damn about whether or not they get a call from their kids. They feel less stress and drama that they have to deal with and move on. Now this little girl have to sit down in court between the two loves of her life to hear from the judge which parent get’s her more when she really want’s both parents. I understand what Alec was feeling because it hurt’s to feel that your kid(s) don’t want to talk or have anything to do with you. I’m glad that she have to grow up because then she’ll see her mother for who she really is. I wonder how would Kim feel if the shoe was on the other foot. She wouldn’t like it at all. The damn news media always blowing things out of wack. The man apologize to his daughter. Would this have happened if they seen or heard a person less fortuned then Alec do the same thing? HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To Alec keep your head up and continue to pray and talk to the Lord. Because he won’t steer you wrong. For now on when you call and talk to your daughter keep NOTES on the time you talked to her and when you called, she didn’t call back or when you leave a message. Believe me that works. To Kim how does it feel to know that you are a bad person for making your daughter have to choose between the two most important people in her life. Good luck Alec!

On 29 Apr 2007, LindaH wrote: I saw Alec’s statement on The View. If one were really soaking in what Alec said, it would be obvious that he had limited time on a live show to make what he felt was an important point, not appease this judgemental, holier than thou society. Good Luck Alec! You saved Kim’s career in the early nineties when she couldn’t stay sober. You are an honest man in a dishonest society (“I got mine’s”), so help us create a more responsible, sensitive forum for non-custodial parents, PLEASE! For victims of this malicious, vindictive game, you ARE divine intervention! You are right, those with the most hateful uncompassionate remarks are obviously victims of abuse themselves. They don’t realize that controlling one’s children to the extent of alienating them from a parent IS abuse. After all, isn’t an abuser’s classic technique to ISOLATE the victim? Make the kids think they don’t have anyone else who loves them but (in this case) Mom. Non-custodial Dad’s are treated like dirt in this society, like “Deadbeats”, even when paying their child support, and perhaps it wasn’t even their choice to divorce to begin with! Those that don’t agree simply haven’t experienced it. But a whole generation of children is going to bear the scars and suffer. Maybe when the children are grown and have gotten enough therapy, THEY can implement change. Shame on the court system and Child Support beaurocrats!

On 29 Apr 2007, LindaH wrote: My husband has been divorced for 10 whole years and the mom has custody of the children. We have been dealing with “parental alienation” on her part to this day. The children just haven’t been taught better. They have been told that mom is the victim, single parent, and dad is the villian! The children would like to love their dad and even me, but they DO feel the pressure not to express that love. And to respect him would be a betrayal to their mom. So, they are allowed to flunk school without any ramifications from mom, not care what dad thinks, never call. It is a one-sided path of love on his part, but he is a good gentle man who keeps on trying. Those who don’t know what Kim B is doing just haven’t seen it firsthand - they are ignorant. The children may figure out what is going on, some day, but it is a shame they should have that realization that mom neglected to foster the relationship with their dad, too. There are really no winners, except for the mom. If you call raising children with “father issues” winning. She is a witch. Don’t blame the daughter. She only knows what she is taught: lack of courtesy, conscience and respect. For all those preaching about political issues on this topic, consider the commandment “Respect thy father and mother”. When will the courts hold custodial parents responsible for fostering a relationship with the non-custodial parent. Courts should have zero tolerance for “civil disobedience” that moms (mostly)perpetrate to drive a wedge between the kids and the other parent. As a society, we should have higher standards and expect more…

On 29 Apr 2007, Jo wrote: Alex went on the view not to say sorry but for his own self gain. To get people to support him. When a father is a good father, then they should be in a Childs life it’s the best thing for the child. When a father is abusive, verbally, emotionally and perhaps even physically as Alec has shown repeatedly (the verbal and emotional we have seen and he all but admitted on the message he left on his CHILD’S phone about the physical) then NO they should NOT be in the Childs life. With an abusive father, having that man in a Childs life is the WORST thing for a child. It is not as cut and dry as some want to pretend it is. Different rules need to apply to good fathers and abusive fathers. Having an abusive father like Alec remain OUT of a Childs life unable to emotional destroy the child by calling them names and belittling them as a human being and bad mouthing their mother (who a little girl associates herself to on some levels), is the best thing for the child in cases like this, period. Come on Alec has done this and more before. Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt. (wasn’t there an incident of abuse towards his child in an airport too) The title father should not automatically mean they get to be in their Childs life even if they are abusive towards their child as Alec is. That would do nothing but harm to countless children. It’s scary with all the documented incidences of Alec’s violent, abusive behavior to his child and others (including this undisputable message Alec left his daughter). That anyone would think he should be allowed to continue this type of abuse towards his daughter behind closed doors. It also puzzles me with all the proof of Alec’s anger management problems his continued public outbursts and acts of violence towards anyone who makes him mad or does anything he does not like, that anyone would want him as their poster boy for fathers rights. If you are, a good father, or your son is a good father, your ex is etc then you should want Alec to stay as far away from the fathers rights cause as possible. Alec is the poster boy for why the current laws are in place meant to try to protect a child from men like Alec, who have documented instances of violent, erratic behavior towards their child, ex and anyone who angers them. Alec does NOT help your cause or the cause of your son fighting for custody. If you do not behave like Alec then you should not be superimposing your personal situation over his, it is not the same and only hurts the good fathers. If I were a good father of divorce, I’d be prying that Alec just shut his mouth and hide away, thanks but no thanks. Alec is not so called fighting for the rights of fathers, he is fighting for himself and trying to garner the support of other fathers for his OWN gain, because for Alec this is not about wanting to be with his child it is 100% about control! It is not about wanting to help other fathers it is about wanting other fathers to help HIM. Open your eyes and see the big picture. Alec is trying to manipulate the good fathers and even other abusive fathers into helping HIM win. Into speaking out for HIM in support of HIM. Alec must personally win this is what it is about for Alec, as he proves in all his angry tirades, be it politics, dissatisfaction at a job, dissatisfaction about aspects of his job, money, and winning over Kim at all cost’s even that of his child. His child MUST love him and hate her mother or Alec becomes abusive towards his daughter too. As we heard in the phone message. That message was not about his little girl not answering the phone it was about poor Alec feeling the child liked her mother better. Listen to everything Alec’s says. It’s about Alec thinking he is not winning in gaining all control and controlling his daughters mind and preferences so she hates her mom and hence allowing Alec to get back at Kim. Alec will fight with his last breath to get even with Kim and win over Kim. It has nothing to do with wanting his daughter purely out of a fathers love. This is not the case here, not in reality, or Alec would NOT be abusive towards his child and then not recognize when he is and instead say poor me, for the abuse he dished out to others. Guys if this is not you, I suggest you get Alec away from your cause ASAP. Any father married to the mom currently or not but all is good; I also suggests you take steps to distance yourself from what Alec is doing, or explain that not all Fathers are like Alec. Then if anything use Alec as the poster boy for what NOT to do and for what is the wrong way to behave to show you are NOT like Alec, and show you know what he has done is abusive and wrong. You should not make it look like you agree with Alec’s behaviors and therefore seem as guilty as Alec. Alec needs to stay away from his child, he is going to continue calling her names and worse because he does not see himself as doing anything wrong. He sees himself as the victim. He sees himself as abused by his child, ex wife, courts, and all the people he has picked fights with. He will make the daughter and Kim pay for this if he is allowed I have no doubt. He is a ticking timebomb. If you are not this type of man then I hope you won’t use Alec as your example of fatherhood because he is going to hurt the good fathers and is Alec how we want our little boys to grow up being on the inside?
