:) Thanks DAME. I needed that.
theatreguy, I hear what you're saying. This situation is a good deal more complicated, though. Allen was the adoptive father for two of Mia's children, the biological father of a third, and somehow he is "not a father to her [other] adopted kids in any sense of the word"? They are still brothers and sisters and they occupied the same house that he visited daily for over a ten year period. It just makes no sense to me. Allen may not have lived with Mia, but they took family trips to places like Russia together. Also, I think it is certainly possible to have more than one father figure.
As a bit of continuity regarding Dylan's letter, from the Vanity Fair article referred to in DAME's link:
To close the nightmare down, a few days before the Newsweek and Time cover stories came out, Mia told friends, Woody had agreed to drop the custody case and sign the original agreement if Mia would say she was dropping the abuse charges and the family would deal with the issue privately. “I think Woody’s big thrust is: You poisoned the atmosphere so much that Dylan’s making this thing up,” says Lynn Nesbit. Thus, an eyewitness who has given an affidavit to police says, Mia went to Dylan to see if she was willing to recant. Mia said, “Dylan, you know, we all make up stories. Everybody does that. Sometimes we know we made it up.” But the little girl would not back down. “If he says he didn’t,” Dylan answered, “he’s lying.”
