| A sad loser |
Charlie is in self destruct mode. He's not a happy man. Despite his rantings on television lately that 'He is a winner'. He's pushed his true friends away and he's losing his children in custody battles.
He has surrounded himself with 'yes people'. So called friends that are fanning the fire of insanity. Some with their destructive comments on Twitter. The sad thing is we are all voyeurs to a Hollywood star's illness and we're not taking it seriously.
Where is the 'Intervention' or is that too late?
His TV show is on ice and there are rumours of John Stamos taking over his role. Charlie has lost his acquaintances, family, agent, job and respect. All because of this illness.
And what makes it worse is he had it all. A wonderful family, fame and fortune. I say 'acquaintances' by the way, because his true friends will always be there for him.
It's very difficult to take pity on a multi-millionaire who has lived the dream. A man who now takes pleasure in telling the rest us, in TV interviews, that he is better than we are. But we must. Not pity him but help him.
Bi-polar? I have spoken to a psychiatrist friend from LA who says that Charlie's rantings are that of someone showing classic Bi-polar disorder. He needs to be hospitalised. He is in denial. There has been a lot of speculation over his behaviour and, however lucid he may appear, his actions show that he is just getting worse.
He helped Stacy and I when his own marriage to Denise was in a very bad way. They both found a place for us in their own home, despite their troubles.
Charlie fed us, entertained us and was a gentleman. He tried to put our problems ahead of his own. I wish I could return the favour but an addict, as we all should know, has to want to help themselves first. And Charlie, at this point, doesn't. His problems are deep seated and he will need more than just a shoulder to cry on.
The good news is that when intervention, or what ever it takes to see him right, does comes along, the idiots with him now will be stripped away and he may claw back what he's lost.
I still support Charlie and forgive all the dumb ass things he says because they are not coming from him. I know from first hand experience that there is a decent man inside and that this illness knows no boundaries.
It hits at the young and old, the rich and poor, famous and infamous, men and women. I just hope he finds help sooner rather than later.
Before watching any of the Charlie Sheen broadcasts or interviews - read this first MANIA
I like your insight here, since you are someone who knows him personally. I agree that in this downward spiral he is surrounding himself with people that keep feeding his delusion. Though there is no evidence, I suspect that that group occsionally drops a person who dares to voice a word of dissent, and quickly replaces them with an eager lackey. I am praying for Charlie. Not for him to regain all that he once had, since clearly that is not enough in life, but for him to rediscover who he is inside, love himself again, and move forward from this dark section of his life to better, healthier days.
ReplyDeleteHi Greg,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment - Yes, friends have been dropped from his circle for not 'falling in line'.
I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to hear any voices of reason at this time.
