Actor left heartbroken that his children hate him
Thursday, 18 October 2007
Angelina Jolie’s estranged dad Jon Voight has spoken out about his broken relationship with his children – and says he’s devastated they’ve cut him out of their lives.
The actor, who divorced Angelina and brother James’s mother Marcheline Bertrand in 1978, says he’s tried everything to win back their trust but they've continually slated him in the press.
‘I find it very heartbreaking that my children want to paint a bad guy portrait of me,’ he sighs.
‘I feel it comes from their inability to let go of years of programmed anger from their mother, who understandably felt quite hurt when we divorced.’
But the 68-year-old is desperate to make amends with James, 34, and Ange, 32, who claim he put their mum ‘through years of mental abuse’.
‘In all truth, I tried to give him and their mother continuous love and support and large sums of money,’ Jon tells Life & Style.
‘God knows, for years I've tried to mend this relationship. Perhaps the trauma of their mother's passing has made it worse.
‘I continuously send them my heart and love and am always available to them for whatever they may need from me.’
