The bitter bust-up between Jon Voight and his two children Angelina Jolie and James Haven does not look like it is going to end any time soon.

The family were torn apart when Voight divorced the mother of his children Marcheline Bertrand, and left her to bring up Angelina and James by herself. With the death of Bertrand earlier this year, it seemed as though the family might be bought together again, but that seems unlikely.

The famous family feud has been put under the spotlight once more by James in the Marie Claire. He tells the magazine: "I don't want to constantly berate my father... but he put my mom through years of mental abuse, and it made me care especially for abandoned women and children. That's my religion - helping widows and orphans."

But Voight has hit back at his children to Life & Style magazine. He says: "I find it very heartbreaking that my children want to paint a bad guy portrait of me. I feel it comes from their inability to let go of years of programmed anger from their mother, who understandably felt quite hurt when we divorced.

"In all truth, I tried to give him (Haven) and their mother continuous love and support and large sums of money. God knows, for years I've tried to mend this relationship.

"Perhaps the trauma of their mother's passing has made it worse. I continuously send them my heart and love and am always available to them for whatever they need from me."
