Re: Alec Baldwin

I'm glad you brought this up.
I'll agree that Alec is more than likely narcissistic, I imagine that most famous actors are....BUT...I think what we are seeing here is "the battle of the narcissists" and it is Kim Basinger who is making him look like a crazy idiot. I listened to the recorded message, and I'll grant that he was upset and expressing his disappointment strongly. I've heard much worse, though.( Not by my own parents who have never called names, and rarely got upset about anything. My friends' parents could let loose, though. Also, I was a live-in nanny. I've heard lots of kids get yelled at by their parents, and as a mom, I've done my share of yelling.) With the exception of calling her a pig (A very Irish name to call, and I think you'll agree much better than some other names he could choose, especially since she has no weight issues. If she was chubby, I would feel differently), I thought that he was expressing himself in a fairly healthy and constructive way. I think his feelings were entirely appropriate and valid and his reaction strong but reasonable. I've nannied for the rich and famous. Many of their kids are ignored. She's lucky he's willing to make telephoning her a priority. She's lucky he's willing to let himself feel upset that she blew him off. If he was NPD, I don't think he'd care. He'd marry some 21 year old starlet and make beautiful, ego-gratifying babies with her and never give Ireland another thought. It seems to me that Alec is the manipulated, rather than the manipulator.
I'm really interested to know how all of the other survivors perceive this.
