He didn\u2019t take [his parents\u2019] help seriously. This was true for years and years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey never lost hope in him, even when he was scaring them or making their lives harder.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Nick had so many good days too, [his struggles] would change day to day.

I think they would probably want people to feel empathy towards Nick\u2019s struggles. And perhaps forgiveness down the road.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cRob was a proud father, a loving father, along with Michele &#8211; she was a loving mother\u2026 Nick had a good support system, as far as I knew.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/rob-michele-reiner-thought-time-help-son-1434939.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20 December 2025 Rob and Michele Reiner \u201cthought they had more time\u201d to help their son Nick.
