I Think Lindsay Lohan Has This All Wrong

Lindsay Lohan is blaming her drinking on her father. I agree that the guy could force anyone to head for the nearest bottle. The thing is, Lindsay told Harper's Bazaar that the reason she got into so much trouble was that she missed her dad while he was away in prison. "Not seeing my father was really hard for me."

So, I guess she never drank or anything until he went away to prison. She was the perfect angel until that time and then just couldn't cope and started drinking and doing drugs? Oh, well that would make sense if it were true, but the fact is that she was drinking and doing drugs and way out of control well before he went away to prison. His going away to prison is just an excuse to rationalize in her own mind her behavior. She also blames the paps for her problems for portraying her as "drunk during the day," when in fact she claims she was never drunk during the day. Oh, well then you must be f**king perfect because you only drank at night. She also neatly dodges that one by never saying yay or nay to whether she would do drugs during the day.

Here is my thing. If she is not awake during the day to drink or do drugs because she is sleeping off the activities from the night before I don't think you should be giving yourself a big attaboy for not getting hammered while sun is shining. The problem with Lindsay is that she never ever blames herself for any of her problems. She always wants to blame everyone else and that she is not responsible at all for making the decisions she made.

Instead what she is doing is the same thing Paris Hilton tried which is to go around and appear to be the good person and that you are doing all the right things and staying out of trouble and trying to get the world back on your good side.

As I am typing this I am thinking to myself how messed up her relationship with her father must be and how I would love to know everything about their relationship. Just imagine if she really was sitting at home at night in the dark, all alone drinking herself into a stupor because she couldn't see or talk to her dad. By the way, last I checked prisoners can make lots of phone calls so I don't get the whole wasn't able to talk to my dad for two years thing. And yes, she said phone in the interview. Anyway, is she trying to say that he is the good influence in her life and that without his guidance is a miserable addict?

Wow. She really needs to think through that whole thing.
