I always thought of this South Park scene whenever someone mentioned Rob:

 

[Irv]

He had the almost amazing start to a career as a director that I remember. Seven consecutive straight up classics:

Spinal Tap
The Sure Thing
Stand by Me
The Princess Bride
When Harry Met Sally
Misery
A Few Good Men

Unreal run.

Sadly, rumors are they were murdered by their worthless Silverspoon son.

Addiction is a terrible thing for a family to deal with and it is a sad situation when you can't trust your own children. Tragic.

I had forgot he had been married to Penny Marshall before. Very sad. Drugs and mental illness affect all families across socioeconomic levels.

Even watching families and trying to help them deal with a family member with a mental illness is tough and frequently dangerous.

Young men especially avoid any discussion of mental health and often need counseling or treatment and get neither at least in large part due to their own avoidance of the subject. That seems to frequently spiral into something worse.

Mental health is HUGE problem in this country. Mostly because we’ve decided to let the mentally ill decide for themselves if they want to get treatment. And 9 times out of 10 people won’t voluntarily get treatment. We can’t legally force anyone to get treatment until they’ve already broken the law and done something damaging to themselves or others.

I don’t have the answer necessarily. But we need some legal capacity to commit people with obvious mental issues and often times drug addiction before they hurt someone and/or break the law. But I guess it’s just too mean to force someone to get help… 😒

All the kids I knew growing up that had major drug issues all came from very wealthy families. Gotta keep your kids busy

Even when they break the law we don’t lock them up until they kill someone. See the poor girl that was stabbed to death in charlotte

I think a big part of the problem is getting people to talk about it if they are having problems. I got a call from my parents a few days ago that nobody likes to get. We have a family that we have been good friends with my entire life, and they called my parents and said their daughter took her own life last week. They said she hid it so well they didn’t know she was having issues, and no KNOWN drug issues. She seemed like she was doing very well in life. The worst part of this is her brother, who I spent many years hunting fishing with, took his own life nearly 10 years ago now. I feel like her parents were just getting to the point where they could talk about him again. Need to get more awareness out about mental health and not make it so taboo to talk about it your having problems so we can prevent the Reiners situation and my friends’.
I DID NOT like the Reiners political stance at all but in cases like this that needs to be put aside. They did not deserve anything like this and I really hope their family can find some peace soon.

I’ve seen a swing an extremely wide range of treatment philosophies over the last thirty years that really runs the gamut. From nearly instant chemical treatment to extreme avoidance of medicines and complete reliance on counseling. Reality is in most cases a combination of both are the answer.

I don’t disagree that the psychological care of forty or fifty years ago is antiquated and does not need to return, but to your point we shouldn’t have to be talking about a violent crime before someone is placed in treatment. It’s a really slippery slope, because there are frequent misdiagnosed patients and people would be ‘treated’ or institutionalized for something they didn’t have or had but weren’t really an issue to society, their families, etc. We’re blending a conversation regarding peoples civil rights and ‘follow the science’ arguments that just don’t always pan out. Forty years ago when I was in college, we were taught about conditions that were considered treatable mental illnesses that now have their own celebrated labels and celebratory months.

I don’t think we’ll ever see a return to forced institutionalization for non violent patients, so like you, I don’t have the answer other than to say it starts in our homes. If we’re going to refuse to address an issue with a loved one, who will address it? If we simply can’t because of how that individual reacts to the conversation, you have to escalate. There are systems in place to address this, but most don’t want to admit their own son, daughter, husband, wife, etc. could do things like this. Schools avoid the issue in most cases and simply work around it or the child, further isolating and alienating the child and putting it back on the family, which is honestly where it belongs. It’s a tough spot to be in, but sometimes you have to be willing to say ‘I can’t fix this’ and get help.
