Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Reiner reportedly made several attempts to help their troubled son Nick, but he failed to take their help seriously.
The 32-year-old, who was recently charged with murdering his parents, sources said People that the ‘loving’ parents had ‘been trying so hard for years’.
“Ultimately, Nick didn’t take the help seriously,” the insider continued.
“This was true for years. His problems were far beyond his parents’ control,” the tipster said.
The source added that “Nick has lied a lot.”
“He was unreliable, but he was also persuasive and intelligent.”
“His family was empathetic to the extent to which his struggles contributed to his behavior. They never lost hope in him, even when he scared them or made their lives more difficult,” the bird chirped.
For those unfamiliar, Rob and Michele were found dead in their Los Angeles home on December 14. Later that evening, Nick was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder in connection with his parents’ deaths.
