Reportedly, Brad Pitt misses his kids.
As you know, we’re into the holiday season. This is normally a time for family. But it won’t be for Brad.
There are no indications, at least in public, that he’s pointing blame in the correct direction for the current situation.
Having seemingly alienated all of his own kids, Brad is reportedly feeling some seasonal blues.

According to a new report by Page Six, Brad Pitt is currently feeling the absence of his kids amidst the holiday season.
He apparently feels that Christmas in particular “won’t be the same” unless he spends time with his children.
“Brad is missing his kids and wishes he had a closer relationship with them,” the inside source described.

Most of Angelina Jolie’s children are adults. Maddox is 23, Pax is 21, Zahara is 19, and Shiloh is 18. Only 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne are minors.
As we previously discussed, Shiloh filed to drop Brad Pitt’s surname on her birthday in May. Apparently, Brad found this hurtful.

Given that Pitt allegedly attacked Angelina Jolie and even his own children during a family flight back in 2016, it’s not exactly a mystery why his former loved ones might keep their distance.
There are mistakes in life for which someone can find redemption and even forgiveness. Domestic violence is not, and should never be, one of them.
Nonetheless, it seems that Pitt continues to blame his ex-wife for the natural consequences of that fateful flight. Fascinating.

It would be irresponsible to declare that an actor is a “paranoid narcissist” based upon secondhand reports. We cannot confirm how he feels or what he believes, and are obviously not his psychiatrist.
Obviously, we all hope that Brad Pitt gets whatever help he needs in order to face the reality of why his kids might not want to spend time around him.

One doesn’t have to be Brad Pitt to become estranged from one’s kids. But whether someone’s an aging A-lister or a non-public figure, it’s not just about how the parent feels during the holidays.
Even children who go no-contact — and it’s not clear if that’s what the Jolie kids have done, overall — can miss things about an estranged parent. Others might simply envy friends who have healthy family dynamics with their parents.
No matter what … it’s unclear how blaming Angelina Jolie is going to help anything.
