If Mel isn’t a hands on Daddy with this child it’s because maybe he just was having fun with this younger woman and got caught didn’t really want to be a father again, sad for his daughter. You would think that he’d want to raise her now that he has more time on his hands and isn’t fair to the child. She had her to hold on to Mel I bet. Or he has to split himself between her and his youngest child by his frist wife. My husband met Mel he seamed like a real stand up person not into being a cleb. He was doing a promotional for Pochohants movie in Central park and my husband was part of the Parks security. He was like an average guy. If he’s out doing the club seene well what did she expect him to be loyal to her when he ditched his marriage? Mel’s frist wife put up with a lot from Mel and kept taking him back because she loved Mel but all men have their faults sometimes it is what a woman is willing to tolerate and able to let slide that makes relationship work. By just having Mel’s kid isn’t going to keep Mel if Mel chooses to meet other women. Mel has definatley lost his Catholic faith, just so sad. Somehow I hope he finds it and asks for forgiveness. You make mistakes you confess and you promise to be a better person that is Catholism because as humans we are not perfect. A wise woman told me all men have their Vices and as women we sometimes have to just accept we can not change a man only love them unconditonally. Her son is a good man but he has his issues and I had a crush on him snice I was very young his vice was one that I just was all too familiar with as my dad was an achoolic so I never dated him. I also thought he was this larger than life heroic guy but he truned out just to be like other guys I knew then. While I remained his friend because I knew he was suppose to be with someone else I realized Men will take what they can get sometimes it’s up to a women to say no go home to the one you love . She should have sent him home to his wife. If Mel told her he loved her then all bets were off he should take care of his kid and be a good dad either way. If he’s a Catholic then he believes life begins at conception he concived this child he needs to be there to raise this child and love this child with unconditonal love. Regardless of how he now feels about this woman. He doesn’t get off by saying gee my frist wife did all the child rearing so I don’t have to with you either. Sounds like he’s backing away from his resposiblities like he did with his first wife … before he could say I have to work on making Movies and I am sure he was away from home (Aulstria ranch) a lot execpt when he was making his kids…he was building a career and making a lot of money while doing it so that came before his wife and his kids he was a workaholic but with all those mouths to feed
