He is not a boy. There is no little boy inside of him. He is a grown man.

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.


Emilio Estevez is worth $18 million dollars and has a string of super recognizable movies. His career hardly "stumbled."
He may or may not loathe Charlie but I doubt it is for his "financial success."


Many things can be true at once. Emilio loves him. Emilio resents the negative and positive attention. Emilio resent the long term negative impact on their family and maybe even his reputation in the industry.


Emilio’s baby mama sued him to formalize adequate child support, etc.

He’s no saint.

NP here. Charlie’s father and sister also both declined to be in the docuseries but no one seems to care about that. Why just Emilio? As someone whose sister is an addict in and out of rehab you absolutely have no idea what it’s like to have your sibling as an addict. Emilio can have whatever reason he wants, it’s not anyone’s business. I wouldn’t have participated either.

Yup, if not for the Breakfast Club, almost no one would know who Emilio is these days. He has an incredibly privileged life and already received more than any one person ought but in his mind, Emilio was supposed to be a much bigger star. And the fact that his addict brother sucked all the oxygen and majorly eclipsed him, still stings.

Charlie Sheen is a classic addict. Unfortunately I have multiple substance abuse addicts in my close family and Sheen is exactly the same. So charismatic, can charm almost anyone, narcissistic, so convincing, but for those closest to him, who have a regular close relationship, he sucks the life right out of you and pulls you into their hurricane of chaos and not caring. He’s not a great guy.


She's not sober. Charlie said that at the end "...she's on her own recovery timeline..." that's why the twins are with him.

He’s in the documentary. He actually comes off as a decent guy and one that feels bad about how everything went down. I don’t blame Chuck at all but I think it was clear Charlie was starting to use again and the show didn’t take early action to stop the train wreck, although it sounds like Denise tried to get them to help. By the time the show gave him an ultimatum he was thoroughly off the rails and living in crazy town.

Plus Chuck is Davy and I’m sure knows that this would get eyes on his show.

The last frame of this documentary was really moving. It shows who he was before all the drinking and drugs took over and that boy is who everyone that loves him is trying to save.

Agreed on the take re: Emilio. An addict in the family absolutely consumes the family. You see it with hiw Martin drops everything for Charlie every time and probably felt like he had to help him succeed. So Emilio was always second fiddle. That said, Emilio was not addict charming so, yeah, he was always coming across as much colder.
