He took the high road for his children.

Brad Pitt agreed to the temporary parenting plan proposed by DCFS, which allows the kids to live with Angelina Jolie while he gets supervised visitation, because he wanted to keep life as normal as possible for his brood during this turbulent time.

"They have six kids and want things to be as uninterrupted as possible. It didn’t make sense, all of a sudden, for the kids to have two different households. You don’t just immediately create a new world for those children," a source dished to Us Weekly. The source called the arrangement a "logistical thing" but noted that the actor's desire to simply see his six kiddos trumped any vengeful feelings he has for his estranged wife.

"[Brad] will cooperate in any way he can to see the kids. By agreeing to this, he can see them, which is what he wanted," the source added.

The Oscar-winning starlet, on the other hand, rolled up her sleeves and was willing to go to war over the issue. "Angie says she’s going to destroy him. Her legal team worked with her temper, so they could reach an agreement for the sake of the kids," the insider noted.

She's not going to have a very easy time winning sole physical custody, it seems, because the World War Z star's recent drug test was clean as a whistle. "He tested negative for pot, illegal substances and booze in the voluntary drug test he took as part of the DCFS abuse investigation. He knew there was nothing to hide, and that’s why he took it," a source told In Touch.

A source tells People that "it's been a traumatic situation" so the Unbroken star and the kids have all started therapy. “They didn’t leave the rental house for days. It was hard for all of them. They are used to more activities and more entertainment so it’s difficult for them to just stay at the house. The younger kids don’t understand what’s going on," the source revealed.
