Well duh. Anyone can tell you that Dina Lohan DEFINES "enabler." That doesn't mean that Lindsay is unable to step up and accept her own fault.

Her entire family sounds like they need some sort of rehab. Sickening.

Don't we all blame it on Dina and Michael, but let's not forget to blame it on Lindsay for killing off her career Hollywood style. She loves the attention, caters to it and doesn't give a damn of people's two cents.

I really dont like Lindsey's mom, she seems like she wants to be a movie star herself. Dina doesn't act like a parent to Lindsey at all. She needs to be like Hilary Duffs mom and disipline her daughter, even though her daughter is the bread winner.

Makes total sense to me. She needs to overcome all of that and be strong for herself. It is easy to blame her Mom and dad and not be accountable for her own actions. I wish her the best.

I can totally believe this...I can actually feel sorry for her for having such sh*tty parents.

is anyone actually surprised by this? Its obvious that her parents screwed her up pretty bad.

somehow this sounds like this probobly the truth... And while you can say that Lindsay is an adult now and should be more responsible than her parents, it isn't as easy when you're childhood and early adulthood have been that traumatic and unstructured...

Idk I loved Lindsey in Mean Girls, but she is an idiot. Why after just getting out of rehab go to a club, seriously it's telling someone who is on a diet to go to a buffet!

Oh wow! And this is news because....?

Of course it's not easy. It's never easy to step up and admit an addiction and overcome it. But it doesn't change the fact that the fault is not 100% on her parents.

I blame her parents too. They are horrible people to let this happen to their daughter.

idk if you're parents who are supposed to love you unconditionally have used you only for their own personal gain all of your life maybe going to the club is a way of escaping, I mean I'm sure she has a need for attention, it's pretty obvious her parents didn't care too much about her. I think she needs lots of therepy.

I know people whose parents abused them; physically, sexually, emotionally and while they have some problems they don't use that as a crutch or as an excuse for ignorant and irresponsible behaviour. You can choose to go one way or you can choose to wallow in you own self-pity. She needs to grow up and get over it she isn't the only who has suffered or has sh!tty parents

yet another reason that dina and micheal lohan deserve the parents of the year award!

I think it's both. I think you cant force someone to go to rehab, they have to want to get better themselves. I mean there is only soo much her parents can do, but what it comes down to in the end is if that person wants to get better. It seems to me that she just doesn't want to. If you have an addiction you have to change your lifestyle, and this means getting new friends and people working for her, b/c they are not helping.

I agree, nya.

I'm reminded of the Eagles song (cheesy, I know) that goes "Blame it on the present, blame it on the past, I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass."

Yeah, she's had it tough. And yeah, her parents SUCK. But do something about it.

Sometimes you need to take responsibility for your actions and at the end of the day her parents aren't the ones who forced her to take drugs or drink alcohol they might have been catalysts but there's a word in the Concise Oxford English Dictionary and it is NO.

she may not be the only one whose suffered, but she's still gone through alot, while in the media's eye. And she has unlimited resources which makes it hard to know who you can trust and who you can't. If all of your life people have been making a living off of and encouraging destructive behavior its hard to just make a change by snapping your fingers. The girl needs therepy and someone who she can trust.

yeah she had an effed up childhood & has terrible parents. So do lots of people who don't act out the way she has.

I think you're right also, that past is the past, she needs to grow up. Lots of people have family problems and lots of people get out of it, she needs to stop blaiming it on her parents. She should be thankful for the life she has, but insteand she is waisting away doing drugs.

I totally agree Nyara....in the end, you choose your own path in life. Nobody chooses it for you.

She chooses to surround herself with friends who do nothing but enable her and use her. Girl just needs to go away and not come back for awhile.

At some point in any rehab situation (assuming you're seriously interested in recovering) you are required to essentially say "Ok outside influences may have led me here, but only I can decide where I go from this point on."

I do agree that she needs to cut herself off from the loony parents.
BUT
I think the problem is that she CAN'T (or feels like she can't) cut herself off from her parents because she's still trying to stay in the lives of her siblings. I'm the oldest in my family and I know that I hung around a lot longer than I wanted to because I was waiting for my sisters to get old enough to get out. I kept coming home for vacations and calling home every day and putting myself into bad situations over and over again because I didnt want my sisters to think I had abandoned them in a bad place. Once they did get old enough to leave, it was easy for me to distance myself from family situations that I didnt want any part of. But until then, it was hard. So I can see why she still sticks around.

BUT BUT BUT it would be better for her to sue for custody of them herself and leave the set of those wackos in the dust. But with her horrible track record now, she'll never get that custody. It's really an unfortunate situation. I feel bad for the younger siblings.

I agree Greggie

for some reason im not shock!?

I'm glad that the bodyguard said something, but will he say it under oath at a custody hearing against those lunatics? That would be helpful and could save the lives of those kids.

i feel no pity in my heart for addicts who don't want to try and change or stop the habit. None at all. When people are mourning overdosers I'm like don't waste my time they chose to die. Yes it is damnably hard to do it but if Tom Jones from the corner can do it without any of the resources these people have then they have no excuse. It can take a million tries but honestly it's the effort and showing that you care anough about yourself to want to get better. Otherwise as far as I'm concerened can Pete, Lindsay, Amy et al hurry up and overdose and get it over and done with. Save your pity for rape victims.

I don't get the feeling Lindsay is AT ALL serious about recovering, that's for sure. Who knows, maybe this time around she will be, but we shall see.

Obviously her parents had a huge role in making Lindsay into the person that she is and everyone can see that Dina and Micheal are the poster children for what a parent should not be! However, Lindsay is 21 years old now and she has to begin to learn how to take care of herself. She's got to grow up and learn how to control herself!

The thought of Lindsay having any type of custody/parental-type influence over her siblings without having some SERIOUS therapy and rehab is downright scary.

I know Greggie. I honestly think that Ali is already sexually active and is involved in some drug activity. I'm expecting to hear about it sooner rather than later.

What makes me pissed off is that Lindsey's incident is that when she was got in the guys suv and started chasing down her assistant they told her to slow down, and that she was going to get in trouble. Lindsey just said no im not im a celebrity, i can do whatever the f***k I want. That girl needs to go to jail and learn some lessons. All these celebritys that drive drunk, they piss me off they act like b/c they are celebs they dont have to obey the law.

Oh no no no.
By "kids" I meant her little brother and sister. I don't worry about Lindsey. She needs to take care of herself. I feel bad for the kids that are still being raised by the loonies.

This comes as no surprise. Given this brat's behavior anyone would guess that her parents are f-ed up. And yes I feel really bad for the younger sibs too.

I think it would do them good to get family counseling. I can see how she's been allowed to behave this way, but at the same time she's an adult, and no matter how people treat you, you're responsible for your own actions.

What else is new.

I know you meant her brother and sister. I thought you said it would be better for her to sue for custody, which is a thought that scares the socks off me.

I keep hearing her mom referring to having four kids, by the way. Is she constantly misquoted, or am I missing a kid?

blah blah..

The most interesting part of this story was that he had the same name as Tony from 24!!!

Tony Almeida

I miss that guy...

After all these cases, why people continue to push their kids into show business is beyond me. It's so sad what some people will do for money. The problem is that nobody who should gives a sh*t about this girl. Hopefully she will get some self-worth in rehab and be able to handle herself as an adult going forward. Before it's too late.

I'm pretty sure Linds has 2 bros and a sis. One of the bros just started college, I believe.

Ok I'm missing the older brother then. I only knew of Ali and the young brother.

My dad comes from an extremelydysfunctional family out of 8 kids only him and the youngest are almost normal. my grandad cheated on my grandma and abused her and the kids so bad that when he used to go to the farm on weekends, my grandma and her 8 kids had to go hide in the forest for 3 days to avoid his drunken rages. this went on for years until my dad knocked him down when he came home and found him beating my grandma. My dad could have been very abusive because he never knew what real love was because my grandma wasn't the warmest person on earth but he has NEVER raised a hand to my mom or to my sister and I in anger, in fact my mom is the one who is bound to yell at him lol. he didn't let that twist him but he let it mould him into a better man. If he can do it anyone can.

Also I know this is the least of her problems but that girl need to stop with the fake and bake...if she makes it to 30 she is going to look like a purse.

I hope she gets better, but in order for that to happen LL needs to take responsibility for her own actions. Up to a certain point the parents control things, but after you become an adult, it is up to you do chose what is right and wrong. I have known many people with horrible parents that turned out really well.

And she is intentionally squeezing her boobs together in that picture. Doing the old, "push-them-together-with-your-elbows" trick.

Nya, that is an amazing story. Thanks for sharing!

wow nyara!! kudos to your dad he definitely came out of that experience as a strong man...

seriously no surprise about the messed up lohan's..but lets see we could have called DCFS...but they are already busy with Britney...or Lindsay who is now 21 could have owned up to her actions..i feel like it's 50/50 here..both sides are at fault..

looks like someone's gonna make an extra buck

lindsay should fire her mother! i think her mom just uses her for her money. lindsay needs some serious help and to do that she really will have to find new friends who actually support her being sober. best of luck to her!

haha badhabbit it's true about the looking like a purse.
this whole situation i sad on all fronts.
