Meth. That really explains a lot. IIRC, it literally destroys parts of your brain. It makes people violent, in a permanent way

Really? I honestly did not know that. that would explain the high rate of mental illness of homeless people on the street. I just assumed they were that way already.. and just also did drugs now.

@Arkay your signature line quote has never been more apt as in the last few days. Hope you don't mind if I share it with friends.

Meth also causes frequent episodes of drug induced psychosis.

What's a family to do?

Rob and wife were affluent, connected, educated, loving parents, and even they were at a loss how to deal with their son. Prevention is of course the best solution, but in a real world, prevention isn't guaranteed. Then what?

Heroin leaves permanent wiring damage and coke as well. We see so many obits or people we know or of, doing fine, productive, clean, then to the shock of their family and friends, employees, the one time they relapse, dead. I mean over and over for years. People in recovery will tell you that it takes that ONE time after years of clean as they see their friends they made and connections in rehabs go down and the RIP's they post. This son goes way back in his behavior it seems that even led to his drug use and then forward hellishness. IMO

Both ways for sure. IMO

My heart-felt and sincere compassion to families going through this. I wish there were a way to ease the burden, a sure-fire path to follow.

Oh, absolutely, and thank you.

It still resonates with me. If I’m bored, I remember that actually indicates that nothing terrible has happened. Coming from that Holocaust survivor, it was so meaningful to me.

A boring 3-day stretch would be so vastly preferable to what has actually happened now.

You are correct, use can result in neuronal death. Some even compare it to traumatic brain injury.

Methamphetamine- and Trauma-Induced Brain Injuries: Comparative Cellular and Molecular Neurobiological Substrates - PMC

The use of methamphetamine (METH) is a growing public health problem because its abuse is associated with long-term biochemical and structural effects on the human brain. Neurodegeneration is often observed in humans as a result of mechanical ...

Considering the news of the day, I cant help but wonder, what is RR's ethnicity?

“A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS,” Trump wrote.

Trump went on to say Reiner was “was know to have driven people crazy” with his obsession of Trump, adding that Reiner’s “paranoia” reached “new heights” as the administration “surpassed all goals and expectations.”

“May Rob and Michele rest in peace!” the president concluded.

What in the actual F did I just read? I have been embarrassed by the POTUS before and will be again no doubt but I just have to say, this statement here is the most moronic, hateful, bull I have ever read from a public figure about another public figure's death in my life. That man needs to shut his trap, just for one dang day.

Hardly a man more like demon.
MOO!

Agree much, and to see them lose their child after years of ups and downs. Heartbreakingly brutal as it's not usually a 'sympathetic' loss in general, but an 'oh well, ..' A lonely suffering for family I'd say, it's also 24/7 IMO

Rob Reiner's romance with his wife Michele changed the ending of one of his most famous films, "When Harry Met Sally".

"Originally, Harry and Sally didn’t get together. But then I met Michele and I thought: OK, I see how this works," he told the Guardian in 2018.

Reiner met Michele through the movie's director of photography, who invited her to set one day.

The director told the Guardian that he had planned to call actress Michelle Pfeiffer for a date when his colleague protested.

"You're not going to call her, you're going to marry my friend Michele Singer,” Reiner recalled his friend saying.

Before their deaths, the two were married for 36 years.

Get ready for the innocent by reason of insanity defense-- and/or he,was psychotic at the,time he committed this horrific crime

 

[ttjo]

Nick had been in Rehab countless times ( I’ve heard upwards of 15 (maybe that included times he quit also). When Rob Reiner said. “We listened to professionals instead of our son…. “ what else was he supposed to do? He asked his son tell me what you need !!
Nick said he felt forced into homelessness because he wasnt able to do things his way and wasn’t open to their suggestions of reheb, so he had to go. He said he shouldn’t have been homeless b/c he came from a good family, and he could have died on those streets ( by “a good family “ I wonder if he just meant rich) it just reeks of entitlement . In the end is that what they were doing,,, trying it nicks way? Walking on eggshells.
Just seems like nothing would have satisfied him. It would have been a crazy making game living there and dealing with that for years.

It's a curse I wouldn't wish on anyone. I feel so, so sorry for them and anyone else going through this.

There was very little they could do, especially once he turned 18. No one can force someone into rehab or therapy for any length of time unless they commit a crime and go to jail.

We can only hope and pray that medical research comes up with some discoveries to help people fight addiction and recover.
