Well - I guess you have more input into this than I do despite my own experiences and having worked in the mental health field with psychiatrists and nurse practitioners in psychiatry and psychologists and social workers - we will agree to disagree regarding whether or not his kids will be fine -- I stand by my theory that whether or not his kids are find is totally dependent on how their life is going forward and how their mother and father act and interact with each other.

So true, kloudy......how the kids fare through the divorce is totally dependent on Tiger & Elin's attitude and interaction with one another.  Kids might have been very young.....but it is amazing how much they know what is going on even though they may not understand.

Gloria Allred was representing 2 maybe 3 of the women at one time. Allred is being sued by Rachel Uchitel because she convinced her to return the settlement money after Tiger filed a suit saying she violated the confidentiality agreement. This should explain it better.

Woods paid Uchitel a settlement -- reportedly between $8 million and $10 million -- with a confidentiality agreement in December 2009 to prevent her from speaking to the media about their affair. The settlement was arranged with the help of celebrity power-attorney Gloria Allred.

According to the terms of the settlement, a violation of the confidentiality agreement would mean that Uchitel would have to return the money and could be sued by Woods for damages.

Woods' attorney Jay Lavely contacted Allred several months ago to say Woods would sue Uchitel for violating the agreement by going on the VH1 reality series "Celebrity Rehab" to treat an "addiction to love." She did not mention Woods by name on the show.

Uchitel reportedly believed she had not violated the agreement, but Allred convinced her she would lose if Woods did sue and struck a deal with Lavely to return most of the settlement money.

Sources told TMZ that Allred's deal with Lavely allows her to keep the attorney's fees she received for brokering the settlement.

The sources said Uchitel believes she got ripped off in Allred's deal with Lavely and has hired a legal malpractice lawyer.

The malpractice lawyer has reportedly demanded that Allred pay Uchitel the settlement money she returned or Uchitel will sue her.

Allred told TMZ, "Our law firm no longer represents Ms. Uchitel and we have no comment on this story at this time. However, we are confident that we have always acted appropriately and in her best interests."

Thank you so much for getting it!!!!!  It doesn't matter a whit how young the kids are -- it is what they sense more than what they truly grasp -- and these kids are sure to hear about this sooner or later.  Daddy will have a lot of explaining to do and what type of a relationship he builds with them between now and when they find out will determine how they react.  And how Elin treats him and their relationship with him will also have a great bearing on how they grow up.  Parents who have strong animosity toward the other parent oftentimes do their children serious damage by not treating the other parent with the respect they need as the father or mother of the children -- has nothing to do with what went on between the parents. 

Kloudy I know where you coming from...

I think many people on this website just want to see Tiger with someone new. (I know I do) However that is left up to Tiger.

I also believe that it would serve the ex's to be friends or at least like you said have respect for one another. This can be challenging, but doable. I am going to through something similar with my daughter's father. We do not have a relationship at all. (He has made no attempt to be a father) Nonetheless I do not talk ill about him to her. I want her to have her own thoughts without my input.

 

 

Wise wise choice.  It is hard enough for her not having him care enough to be involved in her life.  She needs all the support you can give her.

It has been very hard over the past 91/2 years. She ask me and I try to be neutral but time has done a lot for my pain too.

So as a mother you want your child to be happy.. that means sometimes tou have to make amends or try and move on...

Very good!!

By the way, Been There and Done it! I am single today because of poor decisions. Since those days, no crucial decision is made without a PRAYER. Wow what a difference.
