Liv Tyler only forgave her father after she became a mother herself.
Liv thought her father was musician Todd Rundgren until she met Tyler at the age of eight. She recalls, “I can remember meeting him when I was eight and thinking, “Wow, his hands look like my hands and we pick our cuticles in the same way and we walk in the same way.”
Tyler reveals she only began to understand her parents relationship after becoming a mother for the first time, to son Milo with husband Royston Langdon in 2004. She says, “I have made a lot of judgments throughout my life towards my parents and how they did things and why, and now that I am an adult and a parent I understand a little more. I know that we all make strange decisions at times in our lives and do things that people don’t understand. But if they are true for you that’s OK, and I don’t want to be a judgemental person.”

HA she has a point. My sister & mother will NEVER get along until my sister has kids & can understand a mother’s viewpoint. The idea that your parents are perfect & that you can hold grudges against them FOREVER for the way your childhood was, is completely tied to your *own* role as a parent.

I agree with her point of view and applaud her for it. We always have perfect 20/20 vision in retrospect. But this photo is just a little too incestuous looking for me. If I didn’t know she was his daughter, I would have thought she was his much younger groupie-trophy wife, especially given the outfit she’s wearing. Seriously inappropriate to a family pic with your Daddy!

Odd photo… really just odd… somebody wasn’t thinking when they snapped it!

I can’t believe no one has suggested she and her daddy double date with Angelina and her brother.

It’s funny how everyone talks crap about angelina and her brother and ” how in love they are with each other” and yet no one seems to remember that liv was in two of stevens vids very sexy and with um what’s her name from clueless where they were on a stripper pole. I don’t know about you but to me that more incestuous than angelina kissing her bro on the lips for a few secs. I mean seriously to watch your daughter pole dance just so ppl can watch your vid and buy your record is crazy! and very pimpish lol

Alicia Silverstone. I remember and yes, I agree with you. I could write chapter and verse my thoughts on how warped views are on Angelina, but I’m sure no one cares.
