Finally a parent is fighting the medical industry, by demanding an investigation into medical doctors prescribing highly addictive drugs to his child. While it may be for the wrong reasons, the father is Michael Lohan, who appears to have a need to be in the press almost as much as his daughter lindsay lohan. regardless of his motive, THIS PARENT SEEMS TO STAND ALONE AGAINST MEDICAL DOCTORS.
It disturbed dr. sober companion, that addicted inmates, could keep their prescriptions filled even when incarcerated. There goes the thought of going cold turkey.
A couple months ago, Dr. Nathan Kuemmerle, was arrested for possible over prescribing drugs to his patients, something that was revealed in his case was very interesting to dr. sober companion, and that was that the state board had records of what doctors prescribed what medications and how much they prescribed. This information I thought, could be so useful to determine which medical doctor was a doctor feelgood, the kind that addicts shop for. This list would be so revealing, if it made it public. The question is, can the attorney general get this list, and start going after the doctors? Other questions might arise, what would be considered prescribing to much? A very good question, but the answer is much easier to determine. The answer is which doctors are on the top of the spectrum, of over prescribing. While Dr. Nathan Kuemmerle, was the number 1 prescriber of highly addictive drugs, who else is in the top 10 of over prescribing. Could we at least get the top 5? i would be a little hapier if we could even get the runner up, to the king of over prescribing Dr. Nathan Kuemmerle.
Its said that the law of california is broken, when overprescribing occurs. The question for a long time has been will the medical board keep quiet about the list, or will they reveal the scumbags who are killing your son and daughter, by first getting them addicted when they are young, and then by continuing to give them their drugs. Mr. Lohan is right about this situation, and what it might do to stop these doctors from operating. Mr. lohan wants them to held accountable for their actions, and they should.
Is your son or daughter getting their fix, legally through prescription? Isn't it time you join Michael Lohan in his fight against unscrupulous doctors who addic their children.

Lindsay Lohan - prescription drug user for as long as she can remember
Lindsay Lohan - prescription drug user for as long as she can remember
Its not every day that dr. sober companion has access to a random drug test of a celebrity, unless of course they are clients of dr. sober companion. It is really unbelievable the access that the press and public have to peoples private information. Then again, you lose your rights if you are arrested and convicted.
Isn't that reason enough to hire a sober companion, to keep your name out of the press, and to keep your ass out of jail? We think you will agree, that the information that websites like TMZ got on Lyndsay Lohan is way to much.
We used to rely on drug addicts to supply us with the names of the current medications of choice, but now we know that celebrities like Lyndsay Lohan are being prescribed Ambien and Adderall, and Dilaudid -- an extremely powerful painkiller ... often compared to morphine ... and even heroin.
The information that we are getting is from TMZ, who has various sources, including Lindsay Lohan's probation officer, who made a report that lists 5 drugs Lindsay Lohan is allowed to take, under the terms of probation.
The 5 drugs are:
Zoloft (antidepressant)
Trazodone (antidepressant)
Adderall (amphetamine stimulant to control ADHD)
Nexium (acid reflux)
Dilaudid (opiate pain killer) DENTAL PAIN?
Judge Marsha Revel appointed Dr. Kaushal Sharma to evaluate Lindsay Lohan, and then make recommendations to the court.
If you compare the drugs Lyndsay Lohan is allowed, to celebrities who overdosed, or just plain common drug addicts, the thing that sets them apart is access to prescriptions, ability to buy them or have someone buy for them, and ability to try and fool the public.
Enablers of celebrities, like parents and friends, will not try and stop the addict if they want to continue receiving their allowances or whatever else they get in return for looking the other way. If you consider the statement "The defendant indicates she has been on the same prescription medication for as long as she can remember.", and you consider the fact that Lyndsay is still very young and in her twenties, it must have been her mother that originally helped her obtain the prescriptions and medical care. Any minor, must have their parents permission to be treated. Why would a parent allow their child amphetamines and opiates?
Dr. sober companion will help our clients to test negative for opiates and amphetamines because we remove all drugs and alcohol and remove all replacement drugs which have the same properties as street drugs, but are much more potent. A parent must be fooling themselves if they are talked into accepting replacement therapy drugs as a way to help their children, by medical doctors. READ THE DRUG TEST! POSITIVE FOR AMPHETAMINES AND POSITIVE FOR OPIATES!
Stop being so gullible to a medical doctors recommendations that you are helping your children. The only way to test negative for drug and alcohol use is to remove everything and totally abstain.
Medical proof for prescription drug use, is a lie perpetrated by the medical industry, which is largely funded by the pharmaceutical industry.
Submitting your children to random drug tests that you know damn well beforehand that the test will be positive, is a cruel joke played on your children. Dear Parents, are you that cruel to your children?
Are you that stupid?

sarah silverman is overprescribed mood altering drugs
sarah silverman is overprescribed mood altering drugs while still a child.
A young sarah silverman may have become what she is today, because as a child, she could not fight everyone who told her she had to take medication.
teachers, principle, school counselors, school psychologist, parents, medial doctors and pharmacists all teamed up against a little girl, and told her she had to take drugs. the more she complained, the more drugs they put her on.
"you're not going to believe this, but my shrink eventually had me taking four xanax four times a day. 16 xanax a day, for a 14 year old girl. she upped my dose every time. she should be in prison." - from april 2010 playboy magazine interview with sarah silverman
this is normal, and dr. sober companion agrees with sarah silverman that her medical doctor should be in prison

how do prescription drugs get in your medicine cabinet?
How do prescription drugs get in your medicine cabinet?
Drug czar Richard Gil KerlikowskeThe drug czar Richard Gil Kerlikowske of the United States Office of National Drug Control policy, recently went on record by deflecting blame by pharmaceutical companies for drug addiction and over dose deaths and instead placing the blame solely on the parents.
Dear drug czar. Maybe you can answer these questions, if you really blame the parents?
How many millions of dollars are required to get a highly addictive drug FDA approved?
How many drugs show up in the pharmacy that are not FDA approved?
How do pharmaceutical drugs get to the pharmacy?
How many times have you heard the drugs side effect is more beneficial than what it was created for?
Drugs like viagra were not meant for erectile disfunction, but as a heart medication. The same for rogaine for hair growth, etc...
Is it possible that highly addictive drugs masqueraded as LIFE SAVING pharmaceuticals, but the SECRETLY KNOWN use was for very different reasons and the another secretly known side effect is to get people ADDICTED.
We now know that tobacco industry knew about addiction and increased levels of nicotine to keep people addicted. They also knew about the continued use causing cancer and painful deaths.
How many people will need to die of prescription drugs before our government puts an end to this?
The problem of prescription drugs might be blamed on parents, but not for the same reasons people think. (Read Dr. Sober's blog on what the parents are really to blame for.)
The real problem is thinking that pharmaceutical companies who spend billions to addict you are not to blame.
Another addiction people have:
Think of petrol / gas for your auto. The monopoly addiction is when you can't get from point A to point B without buying gas for your automobile. Can't the governments change to a different fuel that we are not so addicted to?
This is the same reason that pharmaceutical companies can't possibly be blamed.
They give to much money in their lobbying efforts to the politicians in government.
Another example is when you watched me on NBC today with my anti drug message, some of the commercials shown at the break were for pharmaceutical prescription drugs. Does NBC have any ethics at all?
The correction of prescription drugs starts when politicians and media stop taking blood money from pharmaceutical companies that addict and kill people by the millions.
A Sober Companion might be the answer to saving your childrens lives, if you don't really think the medicine cabinet is to blame.

Michael Jackson's enabling parents must have known he was a functioning drug addict even before child molestation charges surfaced
Michael Jackson's enabling parents must have known he was a functioning drug addict but kept silent. The following explains why they kept silent, even during the child molestation charges.
In dr. Sober companion's words, We describe a functioning drug addict as someone who knows what effects the drugs have on him and how long the drug effects last. After trial and error the drug addict becomes professional at consuming the drugs of choice, and they become experts on how to plan around the drugs effects.
If someone was a functioning alcoholic, they would also need to know how long the alcohol would be in their system and to plan around the effects of the alcohol.
Because a drug addict, like Michael Jackson, hid the fact of his addiction from his fans, he would not be seen in public while under the influence, unless he felt certain he could blame an illness, exhaustion or some valid excuse on why he looks to be on prescription medications.
The functioning drug addict convinces themselves that because they hide it and disguise it so well, that they have it under control and it is not the same as drug addiction or alcoholism.
This is why the perks are so good for the family to be part of the Michael Jackson entourage, because the celebrity or affluent pay for their silence. If no money were involved in keeping a lifestyle grown accustom to, they might have only been in denial, and actually spoken out to help keep Michael Jackson alive.
The only thing left now by the family is to point the finger somewhere else and blame every doctor possible.
The fact that Elizabeth Taylor was also a functioning addict may finally put to rest the connection that Michael Jackson really had with her. This also demonstrates why getting help from another addict or attending groups of addicts (12 step and group rehab clinics) only surrounds yourself with more enablers.
The first step when dr. sober companion is hired is to remove all enablers, which is the entire entourage including parents, family and so called friends from the lives of my clients. Only then can the client start to free themselves of drug addiction.
Sarah Allen Benton describes high-functioning alcoholics as people who are able to maintain respectable, even high-profile lives. That balancing act continues until something dreadful happens that reveals the truth and forces the person to enter a treatment program or lose everything that means anything. (including their life).
Bombshell: Ms. Benton also believes that the functioning addiction by Michael Jackson may very well be the cause of Michael Jackson's child molestation charges, when she said: "The functioning addict sometimes gets exposed for having made unwanted sexual advances."
While Ms. Benton identifies herself as alcoholic with an addiction problem, Dr. sober Companion which is Dr. Rob Tencer DC, BS, was never a drug addict and never had problems with alcohol. To our knowledge, Dr. Sober Companion is the only sober companion to have never been a drug addict or alcoholic, which also means he will never be an enabler to your son or daughter.
To understand more about the functioning addict dr. sober companion highly recommends:

why does debbie rowe want restraining order from michael jackson father joe jackson?
Because of the death of Michael Jackson, the truth is unraveling about years of child abuse by Michael Jackson's father Joe Jackson. The same man that was recently seen as more concerned with promoting a new record label then mourning his son's death at the BET awards, and the next morning in a press conference.
Dr. Sober Companion is disgusted at this parents actions.
The child abuse sometimes starts with emotional or physical abuse or both, and continues with maybe the worst form of child abuse of them all; "enabling".
Dr. Sober Companion continues to see a pattern of child abuse and enabling by parents and its growing worse every day.
The parents are sometimes the worst enabler in the entire entourage. The parents and the entire entourage are all enablers, whom love their meal ticket, have become accustomed to their new comfort level and would not want to jeopardize that sweetened financial arrangement by the parent actually speaking out against the destructive behaviors of their children.
What is an enabler?
Destructive behaviors that could cause the demise of the meal ticket such as drug addiction, alcoholism, self mutilation, must not be scrutinized, chastised or told to refrain from by the entourage if they want to continue their good lives. They see it as a fun roller coaster in a theme park, that they want to ride as much as they can, until the park closes or the host of their fun expires.
Why do the children need a restraining order from Joe Jackson?
While in the current Michael Jackson children situation, it is entirely possible that being awarded custody by Debbie Rowe, might really be because Debbie Rowe is less concerned about the possible threat of child abuse of Michael Jackson's 3 children by their grandfather Joe Jackson, and more about getting a monthly living expense, not currently accounted for in Michael Jackson's will. While Debbie Rowe has already been given her payoff for what she was hired to do, that appears to not be enough. (It will be interesting to know who is giving her advice and who she will show up to court with?)
The fact that Debbie Rowe wants to separate the 3 children, and only take Paris and Michael Jr., is criminal in itself for the psychological damage that comes with separating children of a recently deceased family member. This action of separation, could be enough to drive the children into psychological damage for life.
Even if Debbie Rowe proves through DNA testing that she is the biological mother, she only gets Paris and Michael Jr., while the true damage is in separation of the 3 Michael Jackson Children.
While I only speculate about Michael Jackson, we now have proof via Debbie Rowe, that Joe Jackson is toxic. Why else would Debbie Rowe seek a restraining order to keep Joe Jackson away from the children?
Please save your child's life.
With all the damage that parents can do to their children by enabling out of selfishness, it becomes clear that the most damage can come from parents. Dr. Sober Companion takes ALL enablers out of the equation. Dr. Sober Companion's goal is to keep his clients alive by removing enablers.
Talk to your children!
Are you an enabler? Please tell your children the truth no matter what the outcome is in your entourage status. At least you will be able to live with yourself, and your children might even surprise you by actually listening.

parents care enough to sue the doctor that over prescribed and killed their son
Sober companion like dr. sober companion is a parent who is sickened by childrens addiction to drugs prescribed by a licensed medical doctor. Sometimes the drug addictions lead to death.
Parents around the world are witness to their childrens addiction to drugs. Its not the parents fault for placing their trust in a licensed medical doctor who destroy families.
Sometimes the guilty doctor takes the blame for over prescribing pharmaceutical medications like Percocet, Oxycontin, Xanax and Lorcet to a parents child who eventually became addicted to them. This addiction to drugs caused a mental illness that made the victim kill his wife and child.
It should not only be the doctor to blame but the pharmaceutical companies who produce the drugs. What do you think?
Don't you think its time for dr. sober companion?

Family sues wrestler Chris Benoit’s doctor
Wrongful death suit filed in federal court in Newnan
By MEGAN MATTEUCCI
A Carrollton doctor who prescribed drugs to professional wrestler Chris Benoit should pay for the lives of the wrestler’s deceased wife and son, the victims’ family says.
On Wednesday, the family filed a wrongful death suit in U.S. District Court against Dr. Phil Carroll Astin III and three unnamed drug distributors.
The suit claims the doctor and distributors prescribed drugs that caused Benoit to strangle his wife Nancy and smother 7-year-old son Daniel inside their Fayette County home in 2007.
Astin is now serving a 10-year prison sentence for illegally dispensing drugs.
Astin’s lawyer, Natasha Perdew Silas, could not be immediately reached for comment.
The suit claims that Astin prescribed painkillers, steroids and muscle relaxants to Benoit from June 2000 to June 23, 2007 – the day Benoit killed his family and then hanged himself.
The suit alleges that Astin has a responsibility to monitor Benoit and warn him of the side effects of the drugs. The suit also includes an affidavit by a veteran Long Island sports medicine doctor, who reviewed Benoit’s medical records.
The physician, Dr. Gary Wadler, found that Astin prescribed Benoit the medication without proper diagnosis or monitoring. The drugs ultimately caused Benoit’s “mental, physical, emotional and/or behavioral health to deteriorate to extent he killed” his family, Wadler said.
“It is my opinion, to a reasonable degree of medical certainty and medical probability, that Astin was negligent in his care and treatment of Benoit,” wrote Wadler, a member of the World Anti-Doping Agency’s board.
The suit seeks financial damages to cover the “full value” of the deceased lives, along with money for pain, suffering and expenses. The suit requests a jury trial.
Nancy Benoit’s parents, Maureen and Paul Toffoloni of Florida, filed the suit in U.S. District Court in Newnan. The Toffoloni’s handle Nancy and Daniel Benoit’s estate.
Earlier this year, Astin pleaded guilty to writing 175 illegal prescriptions for 19 patients, including two that died of drug overdoses. Federal prosecutors argued that Astin illegally prescribed drugs such as Percocet, Oxycontin, Xanax and Lorcet to professional wrestlers who eventually became addicted to them.

young sports agent at CAA dies of drug use or was it just a suicide?
The following obituary of a young man may have occured long ago, but the reality of drug and alcohol addiction is just as big a problem today as it was back then. Depression caused by the economy may even be a bigger concern as young people cannot find jobs and turn to drugs and alcohol to escape their lives problems.
Finding someone to watch over your friends and family like dr. sober companion, can be the difference between life and death. Don't you want to keep your son or daughter alive, long enough to have reached the young age 36?
Jay Moloney, the former CAA "Young Turk" whose meteoric rise as an agent was followed by an equally terrifying free fall into drug addiction, died Tuesday morning in an apparent suicide, authorities said. He turned 35 on Sunday.
Word of Moloney's death swept rapidly through the industry drawing an emotional response from industry friends and former colleagues. CAA president notified CAA staff via a heartfelt e-mail.
Moloney was found hanged in a shower in his Hollywood Hills home about 8 a.m., the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office said. A male friend who was staying in the house called 911 when he heard the shower running for some time.
Moloney was last seen alive sometime between 12:30-1:30 a.m., when he apparently locked himself inside the master bedroom, said L.A. County Coroner's spokesman Scott Carrier. He added that, while the investigation was ongoing, it appeared there was no foul play and no suicide note.
The coroner's office said Moloney had a "history of despondency."
Moloney's death follows years of battling substance abuse. Earlier this year, he was trying once again to re-establish himself in Hollywood after several years of exile. In April, he was named president of Paradise Music & Entertainment, the company newly formed by Bob Dylan's son Jesse, but lost his post there after several months.
"I knew Jay as a decent, hard-working guy," said Ron Meyer, who was president of Universal Studios and a co-founder of CAA. "It's a tragic waste of what could have been a full, productive life."
"He was always trying to get better. So many people worked to try and help Jay," said Andrew Jarecki, CEO of Moviefone and a longtime friend. "If there is any solace, it's that every one of his friends (was) there for him and tried hard to help him. This is a disease that was more powerful than all of his powerful friends."
During his 35 years, Moloney saw some extraordinary highs and lows, even by Hollywood standards.
Raised in Malibu and Newport, Ore., Moloney was the son of screenwriter Jim Moloney. While attending USC film school in May 1984, he landed a job in the CAA mailroom. Almost immediately, the 19-year-old was afforded a grand opportunity -- to work as Michael Ovitz's assistant.
"I am shocked and saddened by Jay's death," Ovitz said in a statement. "He was an incredibly talented man with a kind and gentle soul. Unfortunately, his personal struggles were too great to overcome. I will cherish our friendship, and his memory will remain with me always."
Moloney remained in Ovitz's office for three years before becoming a full-fledged agent. With Ovitz's help, he started handling the careers of some of the biggest names in the business. Among his clients (or clients he represented with Ovitz) were such A-list talent as Martin Scorsese, Ron Bass, Sean Connery, Leonardo DiCaprio, Steven Spielberg, Bill Murray, Dustin Hoffman, David Letterman, Tim Burton and Uma Thurman.
"Jay was the reason that I signed with CAA," said screenwriter Bass, who knew him since 1989. "Before I even signed, he said, 'I'm going to be your agent,' and he went out and he flew across the country and got me a job working for Robert Redford. He did all this without any guarantee of a commission. He was one of the most lovely, charming, unforgettable people that I've seen in the 30-some years I've been in the business. I loved him. I guess (this is) a day I kidded myself would never come."
When Ovitz exited CAA to join the Walt Disney Co. in 1995, Moloney became one of the young agents named to run the agency, joining eight other managing partners including Richard Lovett, Rick Nicita, Lee Gabler, Bryan Lourd, Kevin Huvane, David O'Connor, Tom Ross and Jack Rapke.
About the same time, Moloney's close friends began to learn that he was battling a serious drug problem, and in May 1996 -- unable to kick his addiction -- he resigned from CAA. Subsequently, he spoke about spending time in rehab with reporter John Brodie for a Premiere magazine profile that was published in July 1997.
After leaving CAA, Moloney's life was a succession of battles to beat his drug habit and return to work. During that time, he was reported to have spent time working on a kibbutz in Israel and as a manual laborer in the Caribbean. But he also made at least one suicide attempt at the Beverly Hills Hotel, according to friends.
Throughout his struggles, many of his former CAA partners, along with Ovitz, remained supportive. About a year ago, there was talk that Moloney would join Ovitz's new venture, Artists Management Group. But nothing materialized from those talks.
In April, Moloney was named to run Paradise. But by August, he had stopped coming to work and was reportedly back in rehab, with M. Jay Walkingshaw named to replace him.
"Jay was our brother," the CAA partners said in a statement. "No words can express our sadness and grief at this moment. Everyone who knew Jay loved him."
"He had this youthful energy and exuberance and at the same time was incredibly fearless," said Amy Baer, Moloney's onetime assistant who is now an executive vp with Columbia Pictures. "I learned from him (that) if there was something you wanted to accomplish, proceed with no fear. He was a great teacher without ever really teaching -- he did it by example."
The coroner's office is continuing its investigation and will conduct complete toxicology tests, the results of which will not be available for six to eight weeks.
James David "Jay" Moloney is survived by his mother, Carole Johnson, and his two brothers, Sean and Darren. Funeral arrangements have yet to be determined.

Moloney was last seen alive sometime between 12:30-1:30 a.m., when he apparently locked himself inside the master bedroom, said L.A. County Coroner's spokesman Scott Carrier. He added that, while the investigation was ongoing, it appeared there was no foul play and no suicide note.
The coroner's office said Moloney had a "history of despondency."
Moloney's death follows years of battling substance abuse. Earlier this year, he was trying once again to re-establish himself in Hollywood after several years of exile. In April, he was named president of Paradise Music & Entertainment, the company newly formed by Bob Dylan's son Jesse, but lost his post there after several months.
"I knew Jay as a decent, hard-working guy," said Ron Meyer, who was president of Universal Studios and a co-founder of CAA. "It's a tragic waste of what could have been a full, productive life."
"He was always trying to get better. So many people worked to try and help Jay," said Andrew Jarecki, CEO of Moviefone and a longtime friend. "If there is any solace, it's that every one of his friends (was) there for him and tried hard to help him. This is a disease that was more powerful than all of his powerful friends."
During his 35 years, Moloney saw some extraordinary highs and lows, even by Hollywood standards.
Raised in Malibu and Newport, Ore., Moloney was the son of screenwriter Jim Moloney. While attending USC film school in May 1984, he landed a job in the CAA mailroom. Almost immediately, the 19-year-old was afforded a grand opportunity -- to work as Michael Ovitz's assistant.
"I am shocked and saddened by Jay's death," Ovitz said in a statement. "He was an incredibly talented man with a kind and gentle soul. Unfortunately, his personal struggles were too great to overcome. I will cherish our friendship, and his memory will remain with me always."
Moloney remained in Ovitz's office for three years before becoming a full-fledged agent. With Ovitz's help, he started handling the careers of some of the biggest names in the business. Among his clients (or clients he represented with Ovitz) were such A-list talent as Martin Scorsese, Ron Bass, Sean Connery, Leonardo DiCaprio, Steven Spielberg, Bill Murray, Dustin Hoffman, David Letterman, Tim Burton and Uma Thurman.
"Jay was the reason that I signed with CAA," said screenwriter Bass, who knew him since 1989. "Before I even signed, he said, 'I'm going to be your agent,' and he went out and he flew across the country and got me a job working for Robert Redford. He did all this without any guarantee of a commission. He was one of the most lovely, charming, unforgettable people that I've seen in the 30-some years I've been in the business. I loved him. I guess (this is) a day I kidded myself would never come."
When Ovitz exited CAA to join the Walt Disney Co. in 1995, Moloney became one of the young agents named to run the agency, joining eight other managing partners including Richard Lovett, Rick Nicita, Lee Gabler, Bryan Lourd, Kevin Huvane, David O'Connor, Tom Ross and Jack Rapke.
About the same time, Moloney's close friends began to learn that he was battling a serious drug problem, and in May 1996 -- unable to kick his addiction -- he resigned from CAA. Subsequently, he spoke about spending time in rehab with reporter John Brodie for a Premiere magazine profile that was published in July 1997.
After leaving CAA, Moloney's life was a succession of battles to beat his drug habit and return to work. During that time, he was reported to have spent time working on a kibbutz in Israel and as a manual laborer in the Caribbean. But he also made at least one suicide attempt at the Beverly Hills Hotel, according to friends.
Throughout his struggles, many of his former CAA partners, along with Ovitz, remained supportive. About a year ago, there was talk that Moloney would join Ovitz's new venture, Artists Management Group. But nothing materialized from those talks.
In April, Moloney was named to run Paradise. But by August, he had stopped coming to work and was reportedly back in rehab, with M. Jay Walkingshaw named to replace him.
"Jay was our brother," the CAA partners said in a statement. "No words can express our sadness and grief at this moment. Everyone who knew Jay loved him."
"He had this youthful energy and exuberance and at the same time was incredibly fearless," said Amy Baer, Moloney's onetime assistant who is now an executive vp with Columbia Pictures. "I learned from him (that) if there was something you wanted to accomplish, proceed with no fear. He was a great teacher without ever really teaching -- he did it by example."
The coroner's office is continuing its investigation and will conduct complete toxicology tests, the results of which will not be available for six to eight weeks.
James David "Jay" Moloney is survived by his mother, Carole Johnson, and his two brothers, Sean and Darren. Funeral arrangements have yet to be determined.

The nanny is called to raise the wealthy children, and destroy the family
the nanny raises rich children - by dr. sober companion dr. rob tencer
Successful men and women may bow out of active parenting, hiring in effect a nanny to raise their children for them. Unfortunately, the children of these ever-present nannies and ever-absent fathers and mothers are not likely to get to know the creator and/or steward of the family wealth and therefore do not benefit from their parents wisdom they learned from their failures and their successes-which would be their irreplaceable heritage.
Because children learn about money and values from the nanny who raises them, they identify with their angry, emotionally and often financially deprived nanny. These children are likely to develop selfish, short-term goals and objectives, far different from the long-term goal of their wealth-producing or wealth-protecting parents.
Your children rarely develop skills at making or keeping money, merely skills at throwing it away. Your children develop the skills that are least likely to produce long-term happiness or solid relationships.
Your children may grow up with a strong sense of entitlement, enormous self-esteem, and a self-conscious belief in their own importance and visibility in the universe, but no self-confidence, no belief that they can do anything of value for themselves or anyone else.
Your children may have to blow their inherited wealth before they can move on toward their own successes.
You as parents may only go into battle to get your alcoholic son or daughter out of a drunk-driving charge, with great concern for how it would look on his record and little concern with the reality of his alcoholism.
Lets discuss the various forms of money that wealthy parents have and how they use it as a weapon on their children.
Fuck You Money - This is when the parents have so much money, they will never have to work a day in their lives, nor will their children have to work to make a living.
Go Away Money - This is when the parents have their own lives, and want a total seperation from their children from spoiling their individuality. The parent is able to make their children go away simply by throwing money at them.
The cause is you as the parent, but the cure is also with you as the parent.
Parents often ask dr. sober companion:
What you can do to help my children?
How can you help with their addictions?
How do you stop them from drinking and their alcoholism?
Is it to late to help my children?
dr. sober companion answers with the simple fact that as long as your children are still living, you have a chance as a parent to help them.
Its only late when their dead.
Don't wait until you have killed your children.

A wealthy parents greed was the drug they gave to their children
greed in the family - by dr. sober companion dr. rob tencer
Your curse to your children is that you require unhealthy ways to gain pleasure. It has been studied and pointed out (philip slater 1980), that your senseless greed and continuation in the pursuit of wealth long past the point that it gives you pleasure.
One of the main reasons wealth makes you unhappy is that it gives you too much control over what you experience. You try to translate your own fantasies into reality . . . an enervating and disappointing pastime ...
Your curse to your children was in their education and how they grew up. Your children's learning and growing are very difficult with wealth because they depend on experiences in real life, and wealth enables one to buy out of life.
Wealth provides the wherewithal to cling to every outworn fantasy, pathway, or goal-to grasp every outgrown security blanket more tightly-to control your input in such a way that you never need to change or develop.
The curse of money and its ultimate affect on you and your children could result in severe depression or suicide, its so powerful.
This curse of money was studied in depth by Cloe Madanes, who pointed out, "wealth often appears to be cursed, bringing with it more misery than joy." Sooner or later they realize that the wealth is not going to make them happy, but they then are likely to seek out more intense and drastic pleasures, from taking more risks, finding new drugs, getting into machines that go too fast, or otherwise trying to intensify experiences in a life that is rapidly becoming jaded, exhausted from overindulgence.
When a child grows up with having so much money, they don't have to work or succeed at anything in life, their wealth deprives them of pride in their own usefulness, isolates them from everyone less fortunate, distorts relationships with their loved ones, and ultimately disillusioning them.
Your children rates of depression and suicide, and their general levels of misery go up beyond middle-class levels almost to the levels of the poor.

What is going on in the wealthy parents head, that they could not treat their children as their most vauable possesion?
Your children is your most valuable possession - by dr. sober comapnion dr. rob tencer
Your children may be unhappy because they are your children which J. Sedgwick describes as a dispiriting and crippling burden, because you may have amassed wealth obsessively through your inability to be satisfied, your relentless need for competitive victory, and your willingness to commit the "great crime" that, presumably "lies behind every great fortune."
In other words, you are inherently unhappy and do what they do in hopes that more of something (or maybe even more of everything) will finally fill the void inside of you.
It is your unhappiness (i.e., your inability to be easily satisfied) that has driven them to get rich.
It is this destructive way of life that destroys your childrens abilities in their life.
