Willie Aames is back in charge.

That's the message the "Charles in Charge" and "Eight Is Enough" star is sending now, after trying to kill himself last year on Thanksgiving Day.
"Most people [wind up in a psychiatric ward] because they'd either lost a job, a family member or relocated," Willie says a doctor told him after his suicide try. "I was there for of all those."
Aames, 48, opens up in the current issue of Star magazine about the awful series of events that led him to try to take his own life.
After he declared bankruptcy and had his car reposessed, he says his wife of 22 years left him.
