(4,119 posts)...and family situation. There's no way you can judge them based on what the average person lives.
Mia already had at least a dozen kids...Woody isn't going to bond with each of them as a parent would. He wasn't a dad who went to work at 9, came home at 5 and spent the evening playing in the back yard with the kids. And she wasn't a mom who baked cookies...she was busy actress. Some of her adopted daughters have said that she treated them like hired help.
We should all be allowed to love who we love. Woody and Soon-Yi, both adults, fell in love...period. It happens. The fact that Mia thinks Ronan was possibly Frank Sinatra's son makes it clear that she was having a relationship with him while with Woody. And allowed Woody to think Ronan was his. So, obviously, neither one was truly committed in a conventional sense.
I'm old enough to remember when Mia became friends with Dory Previn and took her husband away. She didn't get nearly the lambasting that Woody got!
I don't know what happened and neither does anyone else who wasn't there. I'm just saying that you can't judge either of them based on your life...because your life is nothing like there's.
Molesting a child is the worst crime of all. Being accused of it if innocent is horrific.
