BEIJING, July 18 (Xinhuanet) -- Though Mel Gibson faces fall-out from a series of rage-filled audiotapes, his family always stands by him during the Oksana drama, according to PEOPLE's reports Sunday.
"He has a good support system in his friends and family," a pal said, adding that his kids are "absolutely" standing by their father.
Gibson's soon-to-be-ex wife Robyn feels he was and is an amazing dad and she is very protective of him, according to the source.
A Gibson family source says the actor's family has long seen Oksana as calculating.
“She pushed him over the edge," the source says. "While they do think he needs help for his anger issues, Mel's family is supportive of him."
A tape recording of rant apparently between Mel Gibson and his ex-girlfriend in angry tirades was made public by celebrity website RadarOnline Tuesday.
