WHAT.do.you.think?

Answer 1

Granted, what he said was terrible and he should have chosen his words more carefully when he addressed his child on the voice mail, his ex wife was even more in the wrong by releasing the message to the media. My soon to be ex hubby was a jerk, do not get me wrong, but for the sake of our daughter I have tried to be civil with him and even if we were at our worst moments, I would never do something like what Kim did just to make him look bad and humiliate him and their child like that. She was clearly thinking about only herself in this matter. Personally, I would give the child to another family member and give them both supervised visitation.

Answer 2

Anyone who would talk like that to a child should NOT be allowed visitation. If it were the mother who released that, it was probably from despiration to protect her child from a very powerful ex-husband! Had it been me, I would have taken it to an attorney to then contest visitation rights!!!! AND to seek protective services!!! BUT that takes money!! All I can think of was that this was a despirate move by a mother strapped for money. NO MOTHER SHOULD EVER HAVE ALLOWED A "FATHER" TO SEE/TALK TO HER CHILD LIKE THAT!!!!! Wasn't she only 12??? Kids are kids!!! He's SO egotistical, mean and a hostile person to EVER talk with a child like that!!! KUDOS to the mother, if that were the only resource she had to protect her child!!!

Answer 3

I think he said these things out of aggravation for not being able to see his child. Then to make it even more infuriating, he couldn't talk to her during scheduled telephone sessions. He should not have taken his anger out on his daughter, and he should be ashamed of the things he said to her. But the most important thing is the child...they should seek counselling for her as well as parenting and divorce counselling for themselves. I don't think this one incident should be held against him or that he should loose his parental visitation rights because of it. And shame on whoever leaked this tape to the public. I'm sure they are sitting on a fat wallet right now...and not caring about that poor little girls feelings either.
