Lindsay Lohan's Parents Say They're the Reason She's So Screwed Up: Do You Agree?

Finally someone is coming forward with a theory about why Lindsay Lohan has had so many problems that might just make sense. Unfortunately, the source in question is LiLo’s own mom. Dina Lohan has decided to air some pretty disturbing family laundry in an effort to explain why her own kid is, as she called it, “so screwed up.”



As disturbing as that sentiment might be coming from a mother, the facts she laid out could drive any kid to have a string of issues as long as Lindsay’s has become. Among her many allegations, Dina says that her ex-husband, Michael Lohan, physically abused her in front of their kids while they were growing up.

The 50-year-old stage mom also claims that Michael raped her on Valentine’s Day in 1990 while the kids were sleeping -- and produced notes from an ER examination that indicate the hospital called the police and a coalition for abused women. Michael says the events that unfolded that night were consensual and Dina only changed her tune after finding Michael was with his girlfriend later that evening.

Of course, the fact that the troubled young starlet was seen partying with her mom just last week in London might be contributing to her ongoing struggles. As for his views on his ex-wife, Michael has simply stated, “She is the devil.” So maybe Dina’s right and they really are the reason that Lindsay is having so many problems. Do you agree?

    They certainly helped. However, at some point, you have to quit blaming Mommy and Daddy. And take responsibility for your screw ups.

    To an extent. She's an adult and needs to start taking responsibility for her actions.

    I'd say the parents are responsible for 41% of her screwed up life. You have to give some credit to the airhead herself. Plus the authority for not giving her the correct punishment she deserves.

    I get so tired of people blaming their parents for their screw ups. Parents are not perfect, I do not think Miss Lohan turned out so bad. she has made mistakes a number of them, but remember that every time she farts some news rag is there to report how loud it was, and what it smelled like... All for a paycheck & notoriety!

    Damn straight it's Mom and Dad's fault.

    Spoiled Disney brat needed spanking, grounding, and some serious humility installing chores. Cleaning out litter boxes, horse stalls, the back of the crisper with the veggies you forgot about, scrubbing bathrooms, etc. Nothing brings a person back down to earth quicker than hard work and a few dirty jobs.

    Lindsay is a grown women she makes her own choices at this point.
    If she has issues with her parents then she needs to seek help with those problem so that she can move passed it and go on with her life.
    I wish her all the happiness in the world and truly hope she gets her life back in order soon.

    I was bored one day over the summer and watched a documentary on her. I knew after watching that they were the reason she is so messed up. And truly, she isn't messed up because she has bad parents, it is that she is so used to being a beloved child. Her father was on probation and could not leave New York, but he did it anyways to see her when she had an asthma attack on the set of 'The Parent Trap.' She is so used to having them their for her, and now she is an adult in the real world.

    By no means do I believe Lindsay parents are blameless but they have no reason to harbor guilt. Lindsay may have not had the best of childhoods, and her parental figures don't seem to be doing her much good at the moment however it is her choice in how she wants to deal with it.

    She is a celebrity with a lot of potential for a strong career. I am sure the lime light is terrifying at times but it also can give you access to a lot of things. You may choose if you want to use that access to find help or to continue to cause damage.

    I have also lived through some hard times. Luckily for me my mother sought out counselling for my brother and I and I was also lucky enough to have many loving and supporting people in my family circle that helped me to become the person I am today. Which is not a junked out young man throwing his life away.

    Many people have lived through far worse than Miss Lohan. Take Viktor Frankl, now this maybe an extreme example, but he is a great example of some one who has lived through hardship and chosen to deal with it correctly. Frankl was a holocaust survivor who went on to be a very influential neurologist and psychologist. He has also been integral to the development of theories around resilience. They key component to whether or not we choose to deal...

They key component to whether or not we choose to deal with our hardship in a way that encourages growth or further destruction.

    Now I am not arguing to lay blame on victims. No victim is to blame for their circumstance. And they must be given the room to work through the things that have caused them harm however far to often our society looks at being a victim as a incurable disorder. As we do with many things in a cure or no cure based society, but I would like to argue there are no cures. There are only practices.

    If you want to build a strong body you don't pump your self full of drugs and go to the gym once or twice hoping to walk away looking like Arnold. Rather you must put in work every day to make decisions that will build and maintain a strong body. Just as you must do to build a strong mind, a successful career or family.

    Lohans parents may not have given her the tools to be the well adjusted young woman we all pretend we want her to be. But it is her choice to use the tools she does have to lead a more successful potentially seemingly less interesting, less tabloid worthy life. Just as we all do.

    They certainly had a hand in it. If her old man would lay off the booze or whatever else he's using....And if Dina would be less of a stage mom and more of a mom, Lindsay as well as Ali and the rest of the kids might have a shot at a descent life.

    yes and no......people grow up w/ bad parents all the time and come out perfectly ok. Some people even excel. But between the bad parenting and all the charm hollywood has to offer the poor girl never had a chance. Now I am a firm believer that we r all responsible for our own decisions. So I mostly blame her, but w/ all the odds stacked against u it's hard to come out on top.

    They have a degree of accountability but at some point people have to stop blaming mommy and daddy for their problems. As far as I know she wasn't this screwed up as a child and it wasn't til her late teens on that she started acting so out of control.
