Your past doesn’t define who you are, so the fact that he was an addict (still is because the lure of the addiction is never fully gone) doesn’t mean that people cant come on here and say something nice.

Is it so hard to say Congrats or Happy for him and his family. Take a stock people and remember that if you live in glass houses you sure as heck have no right to throw stones.

I am happy that his life is back on track but that’s not even the point of the article so, Congratulations Chad I’m sure you are a wonderful father who appreciates waking up each day to see your beautiful daughter’s face

By the way, let’s put the ’step-son’ issue in it’s correct light. Marie Claire asked HS what she slept in. She said she tossed and turned too much at night, that pajamas get tangled so she sleeps in the nude. She said she was thinking that one over though, because her boyfriend’s 6 yr-old son walks into the bedroom so, maybe it’s not something she’ll be doing much longer. It’s not like she’s flashing the boy for kicks. When the time comes I think she WILL be a wonderful mother.

FROM THE NOVEMBER 2009 ISSUE OF MARIE CLAIRE:

Question: What of the idea that your career is more important to you than having a family?

Hillary Swank: “For me, my career is like, for lack of a better word, a baby. I always knew that I wanted to act, since I was 7 years old. But also from that age, I’ve been thinking about the day that I would have kids. When the time is right, I’ll know. I am aware that next week, I turn 35. But I am also aware that the timing has to be right”.

Uh, maybe if chad Lowe couldn’t have been a drug addict (his issue), his former wife (Hilary) could’ve said they ‘just grew apart’ (you know, the typical ‘safe’ explanation). Maybe Hilary wasn’t an enabler. Maybe she wasn’t co-dependent. Maybe she doesn’t believe it keeping a sham marriage…and maybe she’s into responding truthfully when people ask her questions.

Sorry, but in my opinion, drug addicts don’t deserve to be protected or put on a pedestal. It was her life and her marriage too. It’s not bad-mouthing Chad, it’s saying what she felt about HER life. Remember, it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. Her deciding to get out of something toxic doesn’t make her a bad person. If this new ‘good woman’ who may be all the things Hilary isn’t, makes Chad happy, good for him. Let’s just hope he can keep his substance abuse issues in check so that he can actually be a good role model to his new daughter and not harm yet another female in his life who loved him.

On a different note…. while I love the “granny” names like Mabel, I wonder if thought was given to the combination with their last name. It sounds alot like “May Blow”, a lot of potential teasing for her later on.

So happy for Chad. I wonder if he wanted children and Hillary Swank didn’t. I saw her on Live with Kelley and Regis, and she seemed to imply that her movies are most important in her life.

@Tina, where did I attempt to silence her opinion?

freedom of speech does not mean freedom from criticism.

My dd is also named Mabel. I think it’s cute that he says she is “beloved” because Mabel means lovable which was part of what drew us to the name. Our Mabel has 3 older brothers so she also has a lot of doting men and boys in her life!

It probably would have been better for Hillary to keep her mouth shut about Chad’s problems, but perhaps she went through her own personal “hell” and just wanted to get it off her chest. This does not make her a “bad” woman, just an immature one. Let’s hope for Mabel’s sake that he’s worked through his problems and is living a clean and sober life.
