Unless you have been living under a rock for the past month, you have seen at least one or two news stories (OK, maybe about 30) regarding Charlie Sheen. Charlie has been doing pretty well on the acting front starring in “Two and a Half Men” for many years. Even with the announcement that he has been fired, Charlie has made a lot of money and has gotten to do things we can only dream of. But, in his personal life, Charlie has not been doing so well. Marriages and divorces, estrangements from his family, reports of domestic violence. Charlie’s circle of friends and family has shrunk. Attempts by family, publicists, lawyers, and even fellow Hollywood actors have been largely met with the equivalent of a big middle finger. He has not just burned those bridges of friends and family, he’s nuked the entire river. Those people who are still around him are only interested in glamming on to either some of his money or perks and will leave him once the party is over. At least his kids are away from that party house. Not that Brooke Mueller is much better of a parent as far as I’m concerned, but at least there are no kids in the nicotine-loaded house.
Charlie, giving people who really care about you and want to help you such a venomous response isn’t a good thing. I’m sure your lawyers are giving you advice and that advice probably goes something along the lines of “STOP!”. When I see individuals who would normally rally to your defense start to run away from you, it’s a sign your 15 minutes are almost up. It’s time to try and repair whatever relationships you have with your family and friends before you end up at Rock Bottom. It will never be what it should be, but at least you can salvage what you have and try to re-build your life from there.
