As much as I am biased about this issue, for obvious reasons- I have to give the guy credit for one thing.
When he was on camera, saying goodbye to his boys- he maintained composure, you could see the stress- but he did his best. Many men would have lost it- ranting/raving and displaying horrible behavior towards everyone involved, but I think he did a good job- just IMO.
He was able to keep things civil and keep the boys calm. He will handle things later, without letting his kids see the manic side. (I hope)
I know I may take quite a few "jabs" about this, but I feel that he reacted in a quite mature manner.
I am also doubtful about the way things will turn out, and maybe he was just "acting" for the media, but I would like to think that his intentions are good. That's just my opinion, I could be wrong- and I often am.

So you think the "Warlock" with the "Godess'" living with him at his self stated rehab house who declared himself cured of addiction is acting maturely?
My 9 year old is more mature than he is. And that is saying a lot.

Not trying to start a riot here, I firmly believe that the guy needs some serious help. My point was that at least he held it together and was calm when the boys were taken from him. It could have been much worse.At least he didn't go "postal".
He may not believe in AA, or other groups that he might benefit from- but at least he could maintain composure w/his boys when they were taken.
Yeah, get rid of the "angels" (the [censored]-star GF and the sexy nanny- get some real help like Nanny 911 or something).
I have experienced much worse, first hand, when I was in a similar situation- and my 11 yr. old is still traumatized by it. This happened before her 2nd birthday.
Call me stupid, but I like to think that people have the capacity to change- maybe not all the little details, but the basic framework.
Just my opinion- maybe I'm stupid, I still hold out hope that my ex will see the light someday too. But, I won't hold my breath. Shame on me for being an eternal optimist.

While he may not have gone postal at that exact moment, he's been going postal in the public for a while now. And that can't be good for his kids.
Most active addicts don't believe in rehab, so it doesn't surprise me that he doesn't believe in AA or rehab. Most active addicts think they can cure themselves. So it doesn't surprise me that he thinks he's cured himself.
I feel sorry for those kids, both parents are active addicts. But at least one of them is trying to get real help. Maybe their mother can get her addiction under control, because it is clear that their father has no interest in becoming clean and sober.
