Lindsay Lohan’s Siblings Speak Out About Dad Michael
Actress Lindsay Lohan is in the middle of a major falling out with her father, Michael Lohan, and now siblings Mike, Ali and Dakota are showing their support for the “Liz & Dick” star. “Extra” has statements from all three family members.
Sister Ali pleaded, "Take this as your other daughter 's plea to an absent father. I have always tried to stay out of the press because it hurts me to see how you malign my mother. But in this instance, I am breaking my silence. Please stop waging your own personal war against my family. We don't need you to intervene because we can take care of ourselves without you, as we have been all these years.”
LiLo’s younger brother Michael Jr. added, "I think it's unfortunate that the public had to be unwittingly invited into the lives of my family members due to my father's lies. That being said, I think everyone can understand and see why my sisters, brother, mother and I do not associate with him anymore."
Dakota also weighed in, saying, "I have no good memories of my so called father. He has never been part of my life, and needs to leave my family alone!"
Trouble started between Lindsay and Michael following an attempted “intervention” at her Beverly Hills home on Friday.
A source at the scene said, "I couldn't help but feel Lindsay's pain. She felt threatened and frightened by her father's mere presence at the house. And it is clear to me, that any problems she may have cannot be solved by her father."
In addition, a close friend revealed, "I feel so, so sorry for Lindsay. Her father is a very scary, angry man. We are not drug addicts and alcoholics. We are here for Lindsay. Believe me, she doesn't want anything to do with her dad."
Mother Dina Lohan told “Extra,” “This sole act by my ex was not an intervention nor was this extreme antic sanctioned by any member of Lindsay's family or her professional team of handlers. It's all about her father obsessed with making a name for himself in the news once again. It's sad and I hope he stops masquerading as her father in public and starts acting like one in private."

Did they forget that Lindsay called him that night because of the fight with her mother. The whole family is crazy and could use some serious help. Dina is a joke and needs to get her own life instead of seeking fame through her daughter.
Does anyone remember what she said on this phone call. Instead of worrying about the recording think about the message. If it wasnt recorded would anyone believe Michael Lohan. She still need help and so does her mother.
It's difficult to take these poor kids seriously as they all obviously experience 'Parental Alienation Syndrome'. There is no doubt that Michael has numerous flaws but Dina capitalises on these flaws as she constructs stories in which he is the perpetrator and she is the victim.

The result is some very confused (and in Lindsay's case, disordered) young people who really believe what they say but are not able to see the forest for the trees.
Dina is obviously a personality disordered substance abuser. Michael looks a bit like that too. The outcomes for these kids, for as long as they stay enmeshed with either parents, will be poor. It is telling that Michael Jnr and Ali have gotten right out of it - they can maybe stay on the straight and narrow. But Lindsay swings between parents, splitting and alternating. She idealises one and demonises the other, and then reverses.
Lindsay is an alcoholic drug addict who is currently using again. Her not-so-competent Dad tried once again to 'intervene' and he didn't do it with a lot of panache. Dina will view this as an opportunity to get Lindsay aligned with herself (therefore protecting her own income, along with her view of herself). Dad will be shelved until Dina next upsets Lindsay and then he'll be back in the picture. This has happened so many times it's not funny. Lindsay, in the meantime, continues to fade into irrelevance.
Lindsay needs intensive therapy and cut off her family. All of them. Move to Mongolia or something. There is no hope for you in L.A or New York. And no future.
