It’s not really my thing to be commenting on celebrities, but I am laying here watching the news and just heard that she was once again sent back to rehab for cocaine and alcohol. She was just released last week! I remember watching her as the little girl on the Parent Trap…I remember her public statements regarding her father’s own struggles with addictions…I suppose what I want to say is that I am very sad and kind of scared for her…I am afraid that she thinks that her life is the only way to live…when I was 21 I was planning my wedding…I was working towards a more stable life, and I don’t know that she knows even where to begin to work towards a more stable life. It’s as if she thinks that she has reached the top and there is nowhere else to go and so she will just self-destruct.
I can’t help but wish I could hide her away from people taking her picture and partying with her. Give her some real time to be a real person…not a starlet…I am afraid she doesn’t have much longer on this earth at the rate she is going…
I know this seems a little odd but I will be praying for Lindsay. I hope if you are reading this, you will too. It’s not just fodder for tabloid fire anymore, this is a real person…she truly needs a miracle.
Hi all. Who knows what prompts so many young people to drink and take drugs.
It sure doesn’t help when you have what are supposed to be responsible ‘adults’ doing the same thing. I see and hear it all the time. A kick in the rear with an iron boot wouldn’t be good enough for those idiots.
Sometimes, as in her profession, pressure takes it’s toll. Could be severe depression for reasons none of us know about. Many causes.
But the bottom line is, I, along with many others, I am sure, am worried about her career. More than one actress/actor has gone down the tubes for the above reasons, and took years before they got back into acting/singing.
She does need help, and if she were to be put in jail for this, it wouldn’t solve a thing. People like her need to be incarcerated in a rehab type environment so they can be helped.
I have a daughter right now that I wish I could legally commit to rehab, but I can’t. She is on heavy prescription drugs, and thinks she needs a pill for every ache. If she continues, as Lindsay is, she will have no liver left.
These people need help, not incarceration in a jail or prison, and they aren’t getting it.
Oh boy, another book like I wrote above. Sorry about that.

I couldn’t agree more, Jack! I hope your daughter gets the help that she needs soon before she suffers lasting health consequences. I will hold her in my thoughts along with Lindsay and Britney…and all those little starlets having meltdowns. I think it is important to remember that they are–first and foremost–people.
Best Wishes!
Hi all. Jessica, bear with me on these posts. I am a computer non-geek, so I don’t always know what is going on. For instance, I am not sure where to reply on here, so I will just post and hope it makes sense.
I just want to say thanks, Jessica, for your best wishes for my daughter. I am gathering my sons and daughters together this weekend for an intervention. Will see. She is stubborn and in total denial, as you can imagine. Typical for most who are on that junk.
They never have a problem. They can deal with it. They can go off of it anytime they wish. I am sure most of you on here have heard that over and over.
Anyway, it is Friday, August 3, at which time I will wish all of you the best for the coming weekend.
Neat place to chat, even for an older guy. Ha ha. Course, only the Shadow knows how old some of you are. Ha ha.

Hi Jack,
Thanks for coming back! I hope the intervention goes well…I think it is so unfortunate how a drug can rob a parent of their child or a child of their parent…as it seems is the case in LIndsay’s situation…
On the bright side, your daughter is very fortunate to have a father who cares enough to intervene when she is self-destructing and that will work in her favor when and if she decides to go into rehab…
On a side note, congratulations on navigating the internet….not bad for an “older guy, non computer-geek”
Best Wishes! I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers this weekend and hope all goes well.

Hi all. Jessica and others, what will happen this weekend (for any who might be dealing with a problem similar to this one, is that if my daughter doesn’t agree to commit herself to rehab, she will more than likely be arrested in the not too distant future.
As you can imagine, anyone addicted to any kind of substance will do whatever it takes to get it. She has done just that. She has used just about ever doctor/phamacy/and family name to get pills. She has done this in many different counties also.
There has been talk through the grapevine of the police department that they are close to an arrest, as some doctors’ offices have contacted pharmacies about her using different insurance companies to get drugs. Our family has since locked down all access to any insurances, but who knows how many others have been victimized. This is an example of the road that many celebrities could be headed down if they don’t wake up.
We have been battling this for many years, and after cleaning out her house, she would have a full supply of pills within a month. We don’t even know where half of them are coming from.
Worst yet, many who are addicted as she is to prescription drug, many sell 50% of the ones they get hold of.
Hope I am not using up too much bandwidth here with this. It is something that parents of younger boys and girls should be aware of.
My daughter is almost 40. Oh, I am older, but not too old, and don’t feel any older than 30. Raced my granddaughters last night on Razor scooters and beat em. Ha ha.
I do all that stuff. Keeps you very young.
All have a great weekend, and Jessica, thanks for the support and a place to vent.
Jack
