Brooke Sheen Suffered Drug Relapse After Twins’ Birth
March 4th, 2010
As both Charlie Sheen and his wife Brooke seek treatment for their addictions, insiders opened up to Us magazine about the pair. The couple have been in the headlines since the Christmas Day incident when Charlie threatened to kill Brooke.
After checking out of Malibu’s The Canyon rehab facility last month, Brooke Sheen, 32, is being treated at home for addictions to alcohol and drugs — including crack cocaine, sources have confirmed to Us magazine. Charlie, meanwhile, checked into rehab last week for “preventative measures,” according to sources.
Brooke is home with her 1-year-old twin sons, Bob and Max. A family friend says that Brooke’s relapse to drugs began shortly after the twins’ birth. Born severely underweight, young Max was hospitalized for weeks. “It was a really scary situation for a new mom — for any new mom — and at that point she went back to her comfort zone…she resorted to the way she handled stress in the past.”
Meanwhile, 44-year-old Charlie — who spent time in rehab in 1998 — has “slipped” back into drinking, a friend said. “He’s been depressed, drawing the shades and watching TV by himself,” the pal shared. “His idea of sobriety is ‘slipping’ less than twice a month.”
And the couple, married for about two years, “stir up each other’s worst demons,” a friend said. They break out in fights over something small or some little paranoia.”
“One time, Brooke threw a Kleenex box at him because he looked at her the wrong way,” a source recalled. “He went crazy and threw an expensive plate. It was nuts!”

So maybe Max was underweight because his Mom is a crackhead. To try to say she started back to her old ways because of that is absurd. It’s clear she never stopped her substance abuse while pregnant. Charlie Sheen is such a waste of space. How many lives is he going to ruin? It’s like how many bad things have to happen in your life before you get it? I feel bad for the children. Disgusting.

I was about to say something similar to Dnice. Jeez those poor kids.
I always thought his ex, Denise Richards, was a crazy person but suddenly she seems quite credible.

Yeah, washed up Denise actually looks like a saint now.
As far as the skankbag wife he has now, how is she allowed to stay home taking care of her kids with people knowing she is a drug/alcohol user. I’m shocked that CPS hasn’t become involved.

I feel sorry for the kids…they have serious losers for parents. And all the badmouthing Denise got, so maybe it WAS’T her fault after all. Looks like Charlie and Brooke have the crazy part down pat…..

Perfect example of a woman who should not be a Mother.

oh, sure, the baby was born underweight – because she was already a crackhead
