When you become a parent, your number one imperative, for the rest of your life, is being a parent. I know I don't need to sell anybody on the idea that Charlie Sheen is not a role model for anything, including parenting, but let his deranged public outburst be a reminder of how bad and ugly these things can get. And let me tell you - it's the goddamn worst. We talked about poisonous divorces we've witnessed, ones in which once loving individuals use the children they made together as weapons against each other. This weekend I spent time with a friend whose sister is going through a grueling custody dispute. And now that he's apparently made nice with his most recent ex, his pointed vitriol toward Richards just seems acutely unpleasant. His rants lack the shock entertainment value they once did. Sheen, who will likely never again claim the title "highest paid actor on television," has been in and out of public consciousness the past few years, a long way from that strange and rather extended moment when being an apparent total jerk was somehow part of his incredibly successful career. Richards, meanwhile, takes this week's "Not Having Any of It" crown for simply tweeting Sunday, "Happy Dad's Day! have a great trip in Mexico! Kids were disappointed u weren't here for it- Hey we'll celebrate when u r back!" Earlier on Sunday, Sheen spoke to Extra in a more restrained mood, saying, "I am beyond fortunate to be able to spend this special day with my sons, Bob and Max, along with Brooke and my extended family of friends. So on the Sheen scale, I guess the fact that he's tweeting so amicably toward Mueller now is some sign of emotional growth. During their rancorous 2005 divorce, Richards filed a restraining order and claimed, "I can no longer accept abusive and threatening manner and must stop him from the cycle of his abuse toward me and our children and his continued threats of violence and statements that he is going to kill me." In 2011, ex-wife Brook Mueller also won a restraining order against Sheen, and his young sons were removed from his home.

Sheen has a lengthy history of tumult with the mothers of his four youngest children, as well as numerous other women, come to think of it. Terrorist sack of landfill rash? Now that's a metaphor! I'll say this for him - he can turn one hell of a colorful phrase.

The messages have also, unsurprisingly since been deleted. The word "whore" also, unsurprisingly, comes up.

He went on to say "I have paid that Klay-Vinnik leaky diaper over 30 Mil and she calls me a DbD! see u in court you evil terrorist sack of landfill rash." And he added, "this gangster Sheenius will be Winning! Duh!! really grandma? I'm the ARCHITECT OF THE TERM YOU LEAKY AND MALARIA RIDDLED PUDDLE OF SHIT STINK DECAY!! and now I'm out last note this lab rat is from a retarded shit hole named 'Downers Grove.'" It goes on in this vein.
#Charlie sheen meltdown full
The tiger-blooded actor of the canceled "Anger Management" took to social media to compare and contrast two of his former wives Sunday, noting that "Brooke M is a sexy rok star whom I adore D Richards a heretic washed up piglet Shame pile Happy Father's Day!!!" He then followed up with an "open letter to the media" full of observations that "Denise Richards is a shake down piece of s_t doosh phace & worst mom alive! a despicable charlatan who…" and I'll paraphrase here, engages in sexual acts with members of Isis. What were you doing Sunday? Were you having a cookout with your dear old dad? Celebrating with the father of your own kids? Conspicuously avoiding Facebook so you wouldn't be reminded of your dead/deadbeat/abusive father in the midst of all those loving tributes? If you were Charlie Sheen, you were doing exactly what you have done many, many other days of the year - going on an incoherent Twitter rant.
