Did this happen recently?

Sadly, I can relate to wanting to snatch one's child away from a shitty partner, but not enough to kidnap them.

According to the article it was November of last year, so he was 46. Apparently he has been in a facility for almost a year?

What the fuck

That is wild and extreme, maybe there was a valid reason for it, I’ll wait to hear more. Off topic but obligatory in any Cher post

I loved her on twitter!

Just like a man.. can't do things by himself. Ugh...🙄

Maybe I'm just assuming shit, but this reads like Elijah Blue has a drug problem and Cher was trying to keep him away from enablers and get him to rehab. Don't know what to think, on one hand I get doing desperate things to help your kid, on the other, he's an adult and can make his own choices; there's only so much you can do for him if he doesn't want to get clean.

that's the impression I got

Yeah, the part about spending the last 12 days together in a hotel room felt very loaded.

But I totally agree, I feel great sympathy for everyone involved in these situations.

I would have loved to have a family member care enough about me when i was going through addiction, does that sound weird? When I hear stories like this, I feel a weird envy that I never had a family member do something batshit like this to help me.

Didn't think Cher was a crazy "boy mom" (ugh, like girl dad I loath this term!) but with two sons we should've expected this level of unhinged😳

Edit: didn't read the article but going by the other comments it seems like he as a history of addiction and she was trying to help him?? So I take the unhinged part comment back.

Yeah, his father (Gregg Allman of The Allman Brothers Band,) once passed out face first in his spaghetti while on heroin during a date with Cher.

Elijah has battled addiction his entire life.

Then don't use the term
