Rob Reiner Said He Was "Petrified" of Nick — Then Went Home

Описание: Rob Reiner reportedly stood at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party and told friends he was afraid his own son could hurt him. Hours later, he and Michele were dead. But this isn't a story about a father who didn't see it coming. It's a story about a father who saw it clearly — and went home anyway.
For more than fifteen years, Rob and Michele Reiner tried to save their son Nick. Eighteen rehab stays. Sixty thousand dollars a month for treatment. Every family therapy session attended in person. And when the addiction professionals told them Nick was lying and manipulating them, they held the line — until they couldn't. By 2015, Rob publicly apologized for ever trusting the counselors over his son. Michele said the same. They reversed course completely, rejecting the professionals and embracing a narrative where Nick was the victim of a system that failed him.
Then came the schizophrenia diagnosis. Then seventy thousand a month in psychiatric care. Then Nick in the guesthouse, a hundred feet from their bedroom. And on the night of December 13th, a party where every guest could see what was happening — and two parents who reportedly saw their son having a bad night instead of a dangerous man spiraling.
This episode walks through the Reiners' decision-making step by step. Not from hindsight. From inside the frameworks they built to survive — frameworks made of love, guilt, hope, and a desperate need to believe the next variable would finally change the equation. It's an essential listen for anyone who's ever watched a family orbit an addict and wondered how they couldn't see what everyone else could.
