She's probably beginning to realize she's raised them poorly and they're suffering from it. The lack of formal education is a real problem. The unsettled lifestyle, living out of hotels and rented homes, following their mother around the globe on her humanitarian missions. Seems recently they were living in Cambodia for a while.
Very unsettling for kids as they get older and need an education, especially if some are approaching teen years and still have no real education. IIRC, didn't Angelina drop out of high school? She had a lot of problems with drugs (including heroin), eating disorders, affairs with older men and attempted suicide/ cutting during her youth. Easy to see how she may not know how to parent her own children at the same age. The impression is that Brad doesn't have much say in how the kids are raised.
Also: Brad Pitt is not being investigated

JMO, but I think he's been in a psychologically abusive relationship with her for several years. My son was involved in a similar relationship years ago, very verbally abusive, lots of drama and psychological manipulation from someone with BPD. He hid it from us until she injured him severely enough to require a trip to the emergency room and stitches. He got out immediately after that and it took a year or so of counseling before he could date women again. He kept thinking it was partly his fault and that there was something he could do to fix it, until she injured him. Seeing some of the same thing in Pitt's remarks and stories.
I now live in a foreign third world country that has some very well to do people that are back to the earth and free range parenting. The kids do not go to school and make all kinds of adult decisions such as whether they want to go to school "No."
The parents home school. No tutors that I have seen. I always wonder what these kids under these circumstances grow up to be like. At least Angelina is showing her kids that others so not have such a great life.
I do not see anything odd about them going to a hotel to get away. Parents need together time away from kids.
But are the children getting the type of bonding that establishes secure relationships. That is a huge question.
