So now Charlie Sheen, A.K.A. Carlos Estevez, has had his sons taken away by child protective services. Apparently, the order was delivered the twin boys' mom...who just happens to be in a treatment facility for substance abuse. Do these kids have a chance?
Ultimately, substance abuse and mental illness are both terrible tragedies for the person suffering and those who love those people. Carlos seems to be in a place where he can't accept that he may need help. Maybe those who think he needs help are all wrong. Maybe the drug known as "Charlie Sheen" IS that amazing. Maybe not...
As a person who has knows several people with mental illnesses and/or drug addiction problems, I know that unless that individual decides to seek help it doesn't matter what others think/believe.
