In a 2016 interview with PEOPLE, Nick spoke about his years-long struggle with drug addiction, which began in his early teens and eventually left him living on the streets. He said he cycled in and out of rehab beginning around age 15, but as his addiction escalated, he drifted farther from home and spent significant stretches homeless in multiple states.

I’m not dancing on a grave nor standing in judgment.

But if I had Rob Reiner money, I’d spend it all trying to save my child.

What am I missing? Anyone have experience? Does there come a point where a parent just gives up?

Metal illness combined with drug use... Doomed from the start.

He was probably a very young kid when someone offered him a “harmless” marijuana cigarette. It got him started.

It is hard to imagine he would let his son drift like that.

I wondered if drugs might be involved. Reminiscent of the Ron Ely tragedy a few years ago.

Yet they want to tell everyone how to raise their kids. This is what Liberalism brings.
