Angelina Jolie seems to have really lost it while dealing with her children. They are reported to be feeling extremely homesick and lonely, and are crying for their old life with both parents together.

If she is such a committed mother, as everyone thinks she is, why is she putting her brood through a  wringer in order to work out her issues with Brad Pitt?

As Brad Pitt has been cleared of child abuse allegations, it makes sense that Angelina should try to patch up with him if she had really misunderstood his attitude to his children. However, she seems determined to stay put in her role as home-maker or home-breaker.

"Angelina Jolie has been struggling with keeping the kids happy," an insider said to HollywoodLife.com. "It's been weeks since the kids moved out of their home and they are getting homesick. The children are sad, miss the huge house they grew up in, and have been complaining to Angelina that they want to go home. The older children are not happy with the situation while the younger kids are having trouble understanding why they can't just go home."

After filing for divorce, Angelina Jolie relocated her children to Malibu, California, while Pitt is living a lonely life in Los Feliz. The kids have reportedly been crying and asking for their father.

Even earlier, the six children were travelling all over the world and living in a number of places, yet they now most miss their house in Los Feliz. "The Los Feliz home has been where the kids have spent most of their time growing up," said the insider. "Brad has built a huge skate ramp for the kids on the property and they all have their own rooms there too. They may have lots of houses but the Los Feliz house has always been home."

After the divorce started, the entire family kept a low profile and were rarely seen in public.

The custody battle is still on. After he's been cleared of child abuse, Brad Pitt is likely to get a favourable judgement for joint custody, but Angelina seems to have dug her heels in and refuses to budge.
