To tell you the truth, I don't know much about what is founded/unfounded about his past in regards to the domestic violence charges. I never really followed his career before this. So, I'm just judging him on what's going on right now - but domestic violence definitely shouldn't be a joke. Hopefully, like I think the drugs are, that's a thing of the past.

The thing that gets me is that I've seen a lot of people talking about what a badass Sheen is without even caring to mention his history of domestic violence or if mentioning it at all, turning it into a joke. I've had friends in abusive situations, I've watched it happen, and I don't think it's a joke; ergo, a lot of the Sheen stuff annoys me.

On one hand, I do believe him when he says that he never had drugs in the house when his kids were there. I think it was completely unjustified that they were taken from him by the police the other night because I don't think they were in any danger. More than anything, I think that was a matter of mommy being pissed, especially about the goddesses having a hand in raising her sons. But I don't think it was justified to take them away. I don't think he put them at risk. BUT on the other hand I do agree with you that once you have kids, your party days should be over even when they aren't there. I'm not saying never have fun again or even never drink again, but if you're putting your own health at risk, you run the risk of dying and leaving your kids without a dad. Like I said in my post, I honestly because that he's sober now, so like you, I hope that he stays that way. Even if you're with your kids only part-time, you're a full-time parent, in my opinion. I will say this, though: I think he has the right to raise his kids the way he wants to raise them as long as they aren't in danger. A lot of people are appalled at the whole goddesses things right now, but I just think he has a right to teach his kids that it's ok to live an unconventional life just as much as their mom has a right to teach them what it's like to have a more normal life. I think that's a bigger debate for another day, though! Seriously, I could talk about Charlie Sheen all night. :-p I’m of two minds when it comes to his kids.

My main reason for not being on team Sheen is simple. People were depending on him, including his children, and they have to watch him endanger his life and their futures on a near daily basis. My number one rule in life has always been that you are welcome to be as big a screw up as you want until you breed. Once you bring an innocent soul into the world, it's time to grow up. He's got five kids, and I guarantee they aren't "winning" right now. I hope he settles for being a sober ass instead of a drug dependent screw up, but lets just say my confidence is not high. That’s a great defense.
