[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve got to believe Emilio loathes Charlie and his financial success. After all, Emilio was the “good” kid who didn’t fall apart like Charlie yet his career stumbled, he never got rich, and he’s not famous the way his screwed up brother is.

I lost a sibling to drugs/alcohol, so I lived through the nightmare as a sibling and watching my parents. We were upper middle class, private schools, nice house, loving parents, etc. Nobody else in our family/extended family had these issues. My take is that the addict has underlying mental health issues they were likely born with or developed over time. Sometimes there’s a traumatic incident, but sometimes it just happens and there’s nobody to blame.

Charlie—like most of the addicts I know—comes across as very charismatic. He seems like someone who needs to be around people (another common trait of addicts). It’s a miracle he’s still alive, and I think Denise played a critical role in that over the last couple decades. [/quote]

Emilio Estevez is plenty rich and definitely famous. He's not particularly good looking and a not a great actor, but he's in some of the most famous Brat Pack stuff (Outsiders, Breakfast Club, Young Guns, St. Elmo's Fire) and transitioned into commercially successful (Mighty Ducks) and critically successful (Bobby) adult roles + directing... So it seems a stretch to say his career wasn't reasonably successful. Lots of rich people don't want to do TV shows (which is really the only thing that made Charlie Sheen's career "better") because it's such a hard slog.[/quote]
