AceShowbiz - Rosie O'Donnell has been in the public eye for decades, but the latest chapter of her life story is particularly heart-wrenching. The 62-year-old star recently opened up about the arrest of her 27-year-old daughter, Chelsea, who faces numerous charges, including felony counts of possession of methamphetamine, possession of narcotic drugs, and bail jumping, as well as misdemeanor charges for resisting or obstructing an officer and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Chelsea was also charged with child neglect. According to a police report, the conditions of the home Chelsea shares with her boyfriend and their 11-month-old child were appalling. The residence was described as "disgusting," with rotten food, blood stains, and used razor blades on the floor. This dire situation prompted Jacob Bourassa, the father of Chelsea's three older children, to file for a modification of their custody arrangement.

While Rosie is heartbroken, she has made the tough decision not to come to Chelsea's immediate rescue. A source exclusively told In Touch, "Chelsea has to want help first. When she's ready to make a change, Rosie will be there for her, but she's not going to fund Chelsea's present lifestyle." For Rosie, this means cutting off financial support until Chelsea seeks the help she desperately needs.

Rosie has had a turbulent relationship with Chelsea, the second of her five adopted children, particularly as Chelsea has struggled with addiction for the past decade. She has previously spoken openly about her daughter's struggles and the impact it has had on their family. "Sadly, this is not new for our family," she wrote after Chelsea's recent arrest. "We are all hopeful she will find her way out of this deadly disease."

Amid the strain and seeming setback in their relationship, Rosie took to social media in late October to thank her fans for their support. She expressed gratitude to all those who shared that they were going through something similar with a loved one, saying, "For all the people who told me they were going through something similar with a child or spouse or a brother or a lover, thank you for making me feel less alone."

Rosie O'Donnell's situation is a sobering reminder of the complexities involved in dealing with a loved one's addiction. While tough love may seem harsh, sometimes it is the only way to catalyze true and lasting change.
