Mel Gibson : The Faded Love Story of Mel and Robyn Gibson : 'What a Waste'

With rumors that Mel Gibson and his  former wife of nearly 30 years, Robyn, may be headed toward a reconcililition  in wake of domestic abuse allegations against the braveheart actor, its time to examine the relationship between the two.
According to PopEater's Rob Shuter,  the pair may be headed back to Australia together to flee the circus that surrounds Gibson. But what happen to them over the course of three(3) decades ?
Gibson met Robyn in the late 1970's in Australia , when mel was a struggling actor and she was a dental assistant. They both happened to live in the same house in the Australian of Adelaide.
The pair married in 1980, in a catholic ceremony in New Wales. That same year , Robyn gave birth to their oldest child, daughter Hannah.
They would have six (6) more children over the years - all boys. Twins Edward and Christian were born in 1982, William in  1985, Milo in 1990 and Thomas in 1999.
The Gibson's also have two (2) grandchildren by Hannah, who married musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd in 2006.
Over the course of nearly 30 years, their marriage did survive Mel's alcoholism, which took him to rehab several times. He often credited his wife with his recovery."The real medal goes to my wife , who, who's a wonderful woman," Mel told Diane Sawyer in 2004.
Although Mel's traditionalist Catholic beliefts put him at odds with his wife's own religious upbringing, he still had the utmost respect for her. "My wife is a saint. She's a much better person than I am," Mel said in an interview in 2004.
Even right after his DUI in 2006, a source told People  that Robyn was still standing by her man. "She's as supportive a wife as you'll ever see. My marriage is as strong as ever."
But everything wasn't as it seemed . That same year, the pair became estranged and separted. However, the actor's wife didn't file for divorce until 2009. Citing "Irreconcilable differences," the documents indicated that they separeted on August 26,2006, just a month before his 2006 arrest.
The couple issured a joint statement concerning their split. "Throughout our marriage and separation we have always strived to maintain the privacy and integrity of our family and will continue to do so."
At stake was Gibson's $900 million, but  most believed the divorce would be amicable. There's a lot of mutual respect and they've worked hard on their marriage and also worked harded on their separation," an insider explained to People shortly following the break-up.
The "irreconcilable differences" between the two could have had something to do with Gibson's relationship with now ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva. In May of 2009, Gibson announced that he and Oksana was expecting their first child together. Their daughter was born in October last year.
Meanwhile, in the midst of Grigorieva's allegations against Gibson, Robyn has spoken out. "Mel never engaged in any physical abuse of any kind toward me before, during or after our marriage. Mel was a wonderful and loving father," she told  the court in a statement , in an effort to protect their children together.
Robyn's  tried to stay out of this, but she wanted to make sure ther was no speculationof what happened within her family," a source expained
And since their divorce has   yet to be finalized , many speculate that they could be back together in the future.
"Meeting Oksana Grigorieva and leaving my wife  was the biggest mistale of Mel's life. Robyn and the seven children they have together  are heartbroken to see what has happened to him. Seeing the man they know as a husband and father being betrayed as a monster is very painful and not the man they thought they new. However, neither is the man  who would walk away from them  for a younger Russian gold-digger," a friend of the actor told Rob Shuter....the saga continues, stay tuned...more to come tomorrow.
My spin :  Robyn, Please take you head out the clouds and come back to the real world...it's a well known fact  you left the cheater when he moved his bimbo a couple of blocks from you . There is no way in hell  you can stay will an alcoholic and not not he's an abuser, lady, please, we know you are trying to save face because you don't want the general public to know  Mel abused  for  some years... His friends tried to warn him , even his children told him Oksana was a gold-digger.
Wake up before it's too late and smell the roses.  If Mel don't get very serious help , I  really pity the people around him...which everyone knows is going to  be few and far between...with all  Mel's money I don't tink he can buy his way out of this mess.
Kicking back  keeping it real and having fun.
