EXCLUSIVE: Sheen’s Wife Just 'Trying To Cope' Says Her Brother

They’ve dealt with a cheating scandal, drug problems and a domestic violence arrest and are still newlyweds.
Clearly Brooke Mueller and Charlie Sheen have one of the most scandalous marriages in Hollywood.
And now that Charlie has been caught with a paid escort, Brooke is living at their home and taking care of their twin boys, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Her family has rallied around her during this difficult time. Brooke’s brother Scott Mueller told RadarOnline.com exclusively: “Brooke is doing well just now and just trying to cope.”
She has a lot to cope with.
Charlie faces a felony charge and two misdemeanors in Colorado for his domestic violence arrest on Christmas. He’s been busted cheating on Brooke and even photographed in a bizarre disguise. And as RadarOnline.com reported exclusively he took the paid escort, Angelina Taylor, to the home he shares with Brooke. Another time, when Brooke was home, he took Taylor to his manager Mark Burg’s house, just a short distance away from his own home.
Brooke was photographed days ago not wearing her wedding ring.
“She has not moved out and she doesn’t want to move out,” a source told RadarOnline.com. “She’s furious and not talking to Charlie. They’ve had some crazy times together but this really hurt her.”
Charlie is in rehab for alcohol and cocaine problems. Brooke has sought treatment at home for alcohol and crack addiction. But as she has battled to get better and try to take care of their children, Charlie has fallen back into his infamous pattern of paid escorts.
“The thing with Angelina was not a once or twice meeting,” an insider told RadarOnline.com. “He was with her a lot. At her apartment. At his house. At Burg’s house. He’s been with her romantically for a long time.”
That has stung Brooke as much as anything in the marriage. She knows it was not a one-night stand or some type of momentary relapse. He just basically began dating another woman behind her back, the insider says.
“Brooke is tough,” said the first source. “And she doesn’t appear ready to walk away from the marriage despite all this craziness.”
