Dina Lohan: Lindsay "Is In Very Good Hands" in Rehab

I have worked an an addiction counselor for 25 years. In my opinion the only chance Linsay has is if Dina and michael stay out of her life so this sick young woman can get help. Dina is a nobody, has exploited and cashed in on her daughter, it's so abusive. Michael is attempting recovery but needs toi keep his mouth shut. Lindsay, listen to your counselor- SET BOUNDARIES with Dina, take time away from your mom. Get a healthy sponsor, stick close to them for a year. Sorry it's your only hope. Bless you. CK

Nice publicity comment from Dina to make herself appear supportive all while clinching her fists because she's going thru drug withdraws herself. Dina is so present because she doesn't want to lose her open flow of money from Lindsay.

It seems to me that this "mother" abandoned Lindsay for the other daughter's career aspirations, when Lindsay was partying hard. this mother is a media whor e and is loving the attention SHE is getting at the expense of Lindsay's substance abuse problems. This mother should try and grow up and stop putting the spotlight on herself. The world is siding with Lindsay to get better. No thanks to this "mother" re Lindsay getting the help she needs. Also, Lindsay should grow up a little. She is 24 and not a child.

Poor Dina. What about the mothers whose sons are in Iraq? It's a heck of a lot longer than 2 weeks that they have to wait to hug their child. Not to mention the mothers of missing children who don't know when-if ever they will hug their child again. Then there are the mothers of preemies, that cannot hold their babies for months. These overprivlidged schmucks need to put it in perspective.

Take it from some one familiar with recovery. None of this enforced jail time or rehab is gonna work unless Linds actually thinks and admits she has a problem. This is the problem folks. She has not been able to make that leap despite all evidence that she is an addict. She has to figure it out for herself. And during this process she needs how to separate herself from her mom. She is totally enmeshed with that whacko Dina. Step 1 - admit you have a problem! Step 2 - change your relationship with Dina. Rehab can help Linds with all of this so PAY ATTENTION!! You'll be a washed up child star dedad drug addict otherwise. Everyone can see it but Linds!

I really hope Lindsay gets help. She's beatiful and talented but she CAN recover from this if she wants. It's hard work, but she can do it. I will pray for her.

watching lindsay is like watching the anna nicole circus spiraling out-of-control with all the enablers sticking close while nicole/lindsay spiral to their deaths. first, dina and lindsay are insane. lindsay is a drug addict - maybe not street drugs, but now prescription drugs. she is a biochemical mess. lindsay is on a downward spiral and has been for a long time. her mother acts like lindsay is being mistreated. where was dina when lindsay was missing her classes? these two are oblivious to the dangers that are happening and will happen to lindsay. what is really strange is that michael sounds like the sanest of the bunch. get the girl off drugs he says. dina and lindsay can't hear that to save their lives. their denial of lindsay's pathetic life is unbelievable, but really happening. lindsay thinks she is an artist. lindsay used to be an artist. she is a degraded person who has gotten more and more degraded. she will not pull out of this. maybe, if she gets off the drugs, but even then, the reality of her train-wreck life without drugs numbing her into oblivion would be too much for her as she doesn't seem to have much will power. i feel for lindsay. somewhere, somehow, she took some wrong turns, ran into the wrong people and destroyed a beautiful life. she is spiraling down and while being whacked out on drugs unable to truly perceive the failure of her life, she will continue. this is very sad. i hold dina fully responsible for taking her daughter out. maybe dina was mad lindsay made it in show-biz when she failed and this is her secret attempt to take out her daughter. well, she has done a fine job. dina needs to wake up. your daughter is not an artist. she is a common criminal. the system did not fail lindsay. lindsay has no moral fiber and failed herself with dina's help. this is the harsh, cold reality that dina can't see for all the tea in china. when we see that day when the headlines read about lindsay's passing, i hold dina 100% responsible for watching her daughter die. in the slim chance this is not lindsay's fate, i hope this is the case because she was a beautiful, bright star. but that star has faded and has burnt out. you just see highlights lit up from the drugs. until lindsay and dina get real and open their eyes, i really don't see a good conclusion. i hope they do. because i really don't want to see another celebrity death due to prescription drugs where the headlines read "accidental death." no accident about it. we know it is happening right now before our eyes.

w-h-a-c-k j-o-b-s! enough already!

As long as she's able to recover without her "family and friends" interfering, she might have a chance... That picture is scary though.. When a mom hangs out with her daughter like that, there's something really wrong with their parenting.

Her mother is an enabler. Hopefully the treatment center will help Lindsay admit her problems and eliminate the negative forces that continually stop her from moving foward and taking accountability for herself
