Michael Lohan Is Helping Lindsay With Rehab. - Page 2
In the interview in the April issue, the 44-year-old Lohan described how she's more like a sister to her fire-haired daughter - going out to clubs with her and even wearing her old Prada jacket and Jimmy Choo boots.
"If you can button it and clip it when you're in your 40s, you're going out," she said as she put her hand in the air to solicit a high-five from the Harper's reporter.
And that is just one quote. I could have chosen from so many more. Dina spews excuses like projectile vomiting.
Yeah, way to be a responsible parent to your remaining so-far-unaddicted kids, there. Remember, this is the woman who took an Entertainment Tonight crew to visit her daughter when Lindsay was in rehab the first time. And, lest we forget, Dina is also Lindsay's "momager", which means she gets a cut of all Lindsay's earnings. Michael, on the other hand, who receives no income from Lindsay, seems to be taking responsibility for his part in screwing up his daughter (and his other children), as evidenced by this interview shown on "Larry King Live":
How — if I — if I didn't [take responsibility for what Lindsay is going through], I'd be a liar. I mean, everyone around Lindsay, especially her parents, have a direct bearing on her life. And I made some really stupid choices in my life. I made some mistakes. And I can — I can definitely identify with what she's going through, because when I was torn from my family, I reacted the wrong way. My family is the most important thing in my life. I love my children, always did and always will. And I was — contrary to what people say, I was always there for my kids. The problem was when I was taken out of their life the way I was, I reacted the wrong way. And whether it was to numb the pain or drown the sorrow, I was wrong.
Find me a parent who has not made mistakes with their children. We all have said things and done things that we regret and wish we could get a "do-over" on. The key is to not continue making the same mistakes, to learn from them, and to try to do much better. Divorced parents have it especially rough because they can get blamed for many things, exaggerated or not, by a revengeful spouse. It's easy for the custodial parent to say, "You were not there for your children," when it was the custodial parent who cut the other parent out of the children's life to begin with. Unfortunately, children get caught in the middle, often growing up not knowing what to believe....and let's face it, when you are growing up with only one side of the story, it is easy to believe the other parent is the "bad guy".
