“I find it very heartbreaking that my children want to paint a bad guy portrait of me. 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. In all truth, I tried to give him and their mother continuous love and support and large sums of money. God knows, for years I’ve tried to mend this relationship. Perhaps the trauma of their mother’s passing has made it worse.” says Voight.

Angelina’s brother recently did an interview were he stated that they were subjected to mental abuse from Voight.

In November’s Marie Claire, Haven says he dedicates himself to helping abandoned women and children due to his own scarred experience as a child. Of his famous father, Haven says, “I don’t want to constantly berate my father — I wish him well, and I hope he finds peace — but he put my mom through years of mental abuse.”

Though his children may not feel the same way, Voight hopes to mend their broken relationship. “I continuously send them my heart and love and am always available to them for whatever they may need from me.”
