Sheen, Mueller to Give Counseling a Try

By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 27th 2009 09:13AM

Following Charlie Sheen's domestic violence arrest on Christmas, the actor and wife Brooke Mueller are reportedly planning to enter marriage counseling in order to salvage their relationship. A PEOPLE source says that a booze-fueled holiday fight led to Sheen's arrest, and that both he and Mueller have a long history of alcohol abuse.

The PEOPLE source says that on Christmas Eve, the two began fighting and it carried over into Christmas Day. "Both of them were drinking and neither was supposed to be. They both have histories of alcohol abuse and have made every effort to stop. But things got out of hand," the source said.

Sheen was later arrested and booked for for second-degree assault, menacing and criminal mischief in Aspen, Colorado, where Mueller had been staying.

As for now, the source says that "Both he and Brooke will undergo counseling and Charlie will get anger management counseling."

Mueller and Sheen had their first children together -- twin boys Bob and Max -- earlier this year. During that time, Sheen gave an interview to In Touch Weekly, saying that Mueller was "s unbelievable. She's so great, caring, focused, compassionate, lovingand selfless and eager to be involved and to learn. Her mom instincts are all there."

At their age; at their level of the "Hollywood" social scene; and with their personal histories; any money spent on counseling and anger management would be better spent being donated to charity. They will either make it or break it themselves.

By kathy

the sad part is that this idiot keeps producing children who will suffer from his addiction(s)....although typical addict, only thinking of themselves...so sad....

By Sarah

The make me sick. Young, good looking, success in his career..they don't appreciate that they have ..each other and beautiful children..act like idiots.

By sharon

hmmm...maybe Denise wasn't such a bad guy after all...maybe,just maybe,she was right about this jackass all along.

By Gandalf

you should use quotations when you use other peoples material

Add Jesus to this and you don't get a hangover and you can drive safely without killing someone !

The more I think about this story, the more I feel sorry for their kids! They've started out in life as children of two alcoholics, which means that somewhere down the road they'll be dealing with trying NOT to end up like their parents. And on top of that,they're stuck with parents who didn't even have the decency to give them full names. (I wonder how drunk Brooke & Charlie were when they got THAT bright idea?!) As the oldest child of two alcoholics myself, I realized that the only way to keep from going down the same path myself was to abstain from alcohl entirely. The temptation to drink is so great sometimes, I can't even keep alcohol in my house!

And this is the man who has the audacity to critcize the Bush Administration and call the 911 attacks on the WTC a US Government conspiracy. He nothing more than a delusional drunk.

By Lynda

You got it right!!!! he is nuts, left wing freak like his father

By Bill

Why should we give a rats ass about these people. Charlie Sheen, Jon and Kate, Susan and Tim, Tom and whoever, do you think they give a rats ass about you?

By Ed

I hope they do work it out. That must have really stunk to realize that whatever lead up to their dispute, their end result was humiliating and a icky feeling when when they woke up. On Christmas,..eek.. good luck to them.

By Shirley

I agree with Sharon...I guess Denise Richardson was NOT the bad guy in all of this. I guess she saw a side of Charlie Sheen that none of us have.
