When the news that legendary director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were murdered in their Los Angeles home and the only suspect was their 32-year-old son, Nick, I immediately thought of my meeting — only a week earlier — with "Alex," who left this message on our office voicemail:
"My brother 'Gabe' is out of control, but nothing I say to my parents is getting their attention. What can I do? Can we meet as soon as possible, please? It got so physical last night that the police were called — again — but Mom and Dad won't do anything to protect themselves. They keep giving him money. I fear he could kill them.
