He has his visitation rights but he doesn\u2019t want to force his kids to see him. For a long time that meant he was seeing them once a week, but sadly it\u2019s now gotten to a point where the visits are few and far between, which is heartbreaking for Brad.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On top of that he\u2019s got this panic about the very real possibility that his kids will want to get their side of the story out there, whether it\u2019s to defend their mom or just set the record straight, no one would really blame them if that&#8217;s how they choose to handle their grief and sadness. But for Brad it\u2019s a pretty terrifying prospect because he\u2019s tried so hard to keep things as private as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He thought when his kids turned 18 he\u2019d get the chance to see them a whole lot more but so far the opposite has happened and he now has to face the grim scenario that things might actually get even more difficult. The idea that one or all of them might choose to do a tell-all is haunting him. Just the sheer scale of heartbreak and humiliation that could cause is unbearable to even imagine. They could potentially reveal all kinds of\u00a0secrets and there\u2019d be nothing he could do about it, aside from getting into a legal war with his own children, which is just unthinkable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At this point all he can do is hope that their hearts soften with time, although that\u2019s beginning to look less and less likely. Brad isn\u2019t going to give up on fixing his relationship with his kids, but at this point there\u2019s just not a whole lot he can do aside from praying for a miracle.&#8221;<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;credit-texts&#8221;
