I think it's just an excuse. There's men that move across country, get two jobs to pay lawyer fees, do whatever is necessary to see their kids after divorce. Albert can't even bring himself to call his son by his name. Maybe 'the kids mother' would have a better attitude if he'd stop badmouthing her in the press. I know one thing, if he wanted to see Alex there's no power on earth that could stop him.
I understand what you mean -- but perhaps you have not personally been involved in a situation where the parents have abit of bad feelings between the parents and there are children involved -- especially if the children are small like the little boy is currently. And PA was never married to this woman - she openly said she willingly carried on as his 'Yes Albert, of-course-I-will-come-to-visit-with-you-one-time-a-month-for-only-one-reason' type person.
Anyway, the mother can make things very, very nasty for the father on visitation. This is something that I have witnessed personally -- it can be a very ugly situation.
Let me say however, I do not think Alexandre's mother is any kind of villain at all either.
But I certainly think she trapped Albert (he walked into it) with her 'accidental' pregnancy, then tried to ambush him by her cousins in a surprise set-up with photographers when he would visit the boy -- then she did ambush him with that interview she made to the paprazzis -- whatever her reasons were
And someone like PA, I can guess he probably had no idea that NC felt the way she expressed when she spoke so plainly to the medias. I would feel very uncomfortable dealing with someone who did those things directed at me too -- regardless the reasons
In my opinion, Albert is no angel, but he would probably not be used to anyone expressing such blatant aggression in the press and behaving so aggrssively in an attempt to shame and embarrass him in the press the way she did. I can understand totally how he would feel she has an attitude on him. He himself said he was totally stunned and shocked by all of that.
I would imagine that she was as nice as pie in his presence and never let on what was going on in her head (anger and resentment, in my own opinion) -- and then she let all fly from her mouth when she talked to everybody she knew and the paprazzis on him.
I also don't think PA was badmouthing the boy's mother in the press -- he was asked a plain question and he seemed to have just given an honest answer. Just the same way she did in her interviews. But that is just my opinion.
I think if one reads her article closely -- the things she said and implied about him were not flattering at all (my opinion).
I hope also that the little girl in California can grow up well-adjusted in spite all that she may have had to deal with -- all those rumors can be painful to deal with, in my opinion
