RIP Adam Rich. The former “Eight Is Enough” star was just 54. He was a progressive voice on social media and ragged on Ricky Schroder, so I loved him all the more. He replied to one of my posts recently. So tragic. https://t.co/uvSW5Ok2rH pic.twitter.com/p3u0KvcXS0

Human beings weren’t built to endure mental illness. The mere fact that some people consider those to be weak, or have a lack of will is totally laughable… because it’s the total opposite! It’s takes a very, very strong person… a warrior if you will… to battle such illnesses.
