Brooke Mueller Will Leave Kids With Denise Richards While In Rehab

Brooke Mueller is heading back to rehab for the nineteenth time. Best known as one of Charlie Sheen’s ex-wives and the mother to his twin boys, the jewelry maker has battled drug and alcohol problems for much of her life. She was found passed out late last week and rushed to the hospital. She was released within the hour, but clearly, the event served as the wake-up call that she needed to work on curbing her intake of Adderall.

According to TMZ, Mueller has decided to leave her children with Denise Richards while she’s away. On paper, leaving your children with the ex-wife of your ex-husband might sound ludicrous, but given the circumstances, it’s actually the smart move. The actress is reportedly a great mother who is easy to get along with and who is on great terms with Sheen. She took care of Mueller’s kids the last time she checked into rehab, and she’ll definitely do a good job this time too.

Without anything to worry about with her children, Mueller now needs to focus on getting better. She’s had plenty of opportunities before, but there’s no reason why this time can’t prove to be the impetus for real change. Her children need a mother who is sober and in control, and she needs to learn that life is far more rewarding when it’s moved through with a clear head.

Pop Blend’s sincerest thoughts go out to Brooke as she tries to get better.
