Brooke and Charlie, Custody Battle...

These are my thoughts, go with it.

I get the whole spiel that addicts are what they are. And that it is a disease. I totally understand that. But a lot of times in everyday instances, if both parents are incompetent especially given their addictions the children would be placed in the custody of either close relatives or foster care. They're rights are given up as parents until they both can prove that they are sane and drug  free people and can raise their children.

This weekend it had been reported that Brooke Mueller had denied taking a mandatory drug test upon news that she had relapsed. Sure enough as you can blink, Charlie Sheen takes up to file for custody yet he is denied. Seems that Brooke somehow is exempt from the treatment that so many people have been going through for quite sometime. Children that are so far gone in the system that they begin to lose hope of ever having the chance of seeing their parents clean. And of course due to the celebrity and the immense amount of money Charlie Sheen has and is worth compared to some everyday person that has the same situation.


I love Charlie Sheen. Only because I don't buy the whole disease factor especially when you can recognize your problem and still function with it or without it. Plus, he's Charlie Sheen, it's kind of expected and has for years with his track record and history. I honestly think they are both two peas in a cracked up pod. Brooke just rubs me the wrong way almost like a hanger on. She is supposed to be in Paris Hilton's new reality show. (I won't name it because I don't care to see it)  Its the lack of care it seems she showing for her children. It's like she dumps them off on her mother whenever its convenient. Sure, Charlie would use nannies and things of that nature. But it really didn't seem like those children where in any danger when the were with him.

 

The court's still granting her custody is really weird to me. I honestly can see them just giving custody to her mother or Martin Sheen. Denise Richards has even thrown her name in the hat to care for them which would be good because then the boys can connect more with their sisters. But still this cracked out, part time rehab junkie should just fade away.
