Hopefully this will open Angelina's eyes to the fact that family is precious and shouldn't be ignored.
Her father may have screwed up in the past but get over it. The day will come when her father will be gone too, and you can never go back and make amends then..
Life is too short to hold lifetime grudges.
From StarMagazine: 
"Famous for multi-tasking and traveling the globe on humanitarian missions with a bevy of children in tow, Angelina Jolie may have finally reached her overload point.
Only weeks before her departure to India with hubby Brad Pitt, and their three children, Angelina received the devastating news that her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, 56, who has been fighting against uterine cancer for five years, may have only months to live.
A source tells Star that neither chemotherapy treatments or radiation have been able to stop the cancer from spreading, and besides providing morphine for pain, doctors may be able to do little else to help Marianne’s condition. Meanwhile, Angelina is slated to film new movie 'A Mighty Heart' with Brad co-producing in India for 13-15 weeks. Angelina agreed to go ahead with the flick at her mother’s persuasions, and with the agreement that she can leave the set at any time to visit her mother.
However, as power outages and heat waves threaten to prolong filming; Angelina may be on the verge of a breakdown.
She is taking on one of the most challenging roles of her career, playing Marianne Pearl, and at the same time is forced to abandon her role as her mother’s caregiver all while recovering from giving birth only 5 months ago to Shiloh, and caring for Maddox, 5 and Zahara, 21 months. However, sources say that in her time of need, Angelina can lean on Brad, how is notorious for being “strong and dependable,” and “like a rock,” who will help her through her struggles."

It was a girl, wasn't it?
Fixed, thanks. Star Magazine's error.
abusive father does not deserve to be forgiven. fuck em
He wasnt abusive, he just wansn't around.
there's a typo in there that refers to marcheline as marianne (ang's character in the upcoming film). at any rate, she's always been around her mother, and i don't really blame her for ditching jon voight - if the stories are true, anyhow. i think if anything she is really involved with her own family. first time i've disagreed with you, though, spicy, so it's not a huge thing with me - this is one of the few gossip blogs i frequent that doesn't trash angelina every chance it gets.
How sad that she is losing her mom. I know how hard that is, and just what a struggle it can be to carry on while you feel like your whole world is crumbling.
One can certainly argue that a father who isn't around is abusive, because neglect is a form of abuse. As a girl who grew up with a father who was inexplicably absent from my life, I too harbored a life-long grudge and a big chip on my shoulder. I was angry, and I was probably justified. He wasn't there when I really needed him, and it affected me as a child, teen, adult. Even if he'd done a little bit more, it would have been better than nothing. If he'd explained it to me, or taken the time out... but that was so rare for him. I grew up feeling insecure and alienated and had abandonment issues. Maybe that's why Angelina is so keen on adopting. She knows what it is to be left behind. But you know what? Life is indeed too short, and no matter how mad I was, it was a chain that held me down and I suffered for it. So I became the bigger person and began building a bridge with my dad and setting aside the anger and tried to find a solution instead. Today we have a great relationship, better than I ever imagined in a million years possible. He's my buddy, and I love him so much, and I FORGIVE HIM. It's taken me years to say that, but I truly do. He may not have been there then and there's nothing I can do about that and it was a heavy price tag. But I would rather have him here now, by my side. Better late than never.
I love you Angelina...you will always be my muse...
