I feel bad for her kids, she lost custody of them years ago because of her drug problem and here she is at 44 and still having problems. Poor kids, I hope they don’t follow in her or the family’s footsteps. Both her brother griffin and her brother raymond who is the child of farrah and ryan have big drug issues. Raymond is only 23 and been in and out of rehab since he was a teen, he has a heroin problem too.

Gosh, I can’t believe their children are that old already! I would love to see a recent pic of them…I still picture them as little tykes! Good luck to Tatum and the family as they continue to deal with her issues.

I’ve liked Tatum since she was in “Paper Moon” and “Bad News Bears”. She’s only a 1 1/2 yrs. older than me and I loved her roles as a young actress. I feel sorry for her and her kids, even though they’re grown up. Obviously, she needs help again and this truly is a disease. I’m rooting for you, Tatum! Get better so you could live a good life for you and your kids, ok?

Brooke his name is Redmond and I know all about his drug use. I was friends with him (I am a recovering addict with 5 years clean) When he lived in Houston with his grandparents and we hung out every day. It was so sad because the kid is sooo smart. But his addiction is not just heroin, he has major problems with crack and IV cocaine. He lived a crazy life and still does. It obviously runs in the family.

It is sad she is still battling these issues like she is. Once an addict…it is with you every day of your life, but I would have hoped she would be doing better. I feel bad for the kids. It is good she has support and I really hope she gets help. I would hate to see her go to jail.
