Daniel and Joanne Baldwin
Daniel Baldwin has spoke out about his estranged wife's alleged alcohol addiction.
The Mullholland Falls star filed for divorce from Joanne earlier this month and was recently granted a restraining order against her and temporary custody of their two daughters after admitting he fears for their safety.
Joanne was recently arrested for driving under the influence, and Baldwin admits that he is devastated watching his partner 'disintergrate'.
He tells CNN news host Piers Morgan: "I've never been on the opposit side of the continuum... The only good thing that has come out of (my addiction) has been the fact that in the 12-step programme, step nine is that you make amends to those that you have harmed... I've had to go back to a number of people in my family, loved ones, and say, 'My God, I'm so sorry. I had no idea what you were feeling.'
"I knew what I did. But I never had to feel it before. Now I'm on the opposit side of the continuum. And it's just an awful and helpless feeling to watch someone that you love disintegrate."
Baldwin also told Piers that he would consider a reconciliation with his wife if she were to get clean. The pair were married in 2007.
He adds: "She need to understant that this (the divorce) is an ultimatum now. I can always reverse that or stop that she should decide to get some help...
"I won't rule any of those things out right now... Right now I filed for divorce. I intend on getting divorced. I have a protection order for myself and my children because I cannot control what someone else does... So I have to do what I have to do. My first respensibility has to be to my personal well-being and, moreover, my children and their personal well-being."
