I can’t think of any celebrity with parents as horrible as Lindsay’s. I firmly believe they pushed her way too hard as a kid and screwed her up in many ways, all for their own gain – money, fame, power. I think they used her, and continue to use her.
Like this latest cry for attention from Lindsay Lohan’s dad, who is currently in jail. Anytime he wants to "talk" privately to Lindsay, he send a letter to some magazine! This time, he sent the letter to InTouch Weekly:
The text of the letter after the jump…
Dear Lindsay,
I’m so proud of you in that you are taking back control of your life and putting it back on track like God wants. Now it’s time to "clean house," in every sense of the word, and start anew.
As I’ve always told you Linds, you are blessed and God wants you to use your blessing to set an example and bless others through it as well. – You have such a kind and loving heart, which is more valuable than the world has to offer. You know that, God knows that and so do I – I’ve seen it in so many tears we’ve shed on each others’ shoulders, through the love, pain and while helping others. Remember the boy in the wheelchair while we attended ABC Primetime at Disneyland, or how about the little girl with cancer at Leigh Valley Hospital? We sow in tears but can reap in joy Lindsay. But it’s all up to us. The treasure is in your heart and that’s where it belongs.
What you are going to learn now is that turning to God is the most important part of turning it all around. Living by the truth, God’s principles and people who do the same. Make that searching moral inventory and "clean house." Then fill it with love, forgiveness and all that you know is right by God rather than man. People, places and things are huge factors Lindsay, remember that. Believe me, I know! This is a walk you will make with God and a choice of your own. And anyone who offers you advice to the contrary, or advises you to say or do anything which isn’t right needs to find a walk of their own.
I’m not going to point fingers, make excuses or expose anyone, but I will say this: You know the truth, I know the truth, God knows the truth, and while that’s all that truly matters, living by the truth is the glue that will hold it all together. God is synonymous with truth, just as Satan is the "father of lies." We follow one or the other, it’s as simply as that. It’s our choice and one which will dictate the course of our lives. But for one second, don’t think that what others do won’t effect our lives as well. Sometimes we too suffer for the ones we love. No matter how right we may be. It’s all part of the cost of being blessed.
This is your chance my love, start from the beginning. Fill yourself with the kind of love and good, God wants you to have and you’ll be blessed more than ever.
My heart is with you sweetheart and so am I. Always was and always will be, to the very end. We are one soul inhabiting two bodies. Two in kind. I feel your love, the pain and your presence as I hope you do mine.
I can’t wait for the day to hold you, look in your eyes and reap the joy we sowed with our tears. Until then, know that God is with you, and so am I. – My undying love, Daddy
This makes me so mad! I don’t care how much he claims to love Lindsay, no father who truly loves her daughter, despite how desperate to talk to her, would put this type of private stuff in a magazine!! And don’t get me started on Dina Lohan. That woman goes on tv to talk about Lindsay whenever she can!

Big deal. What about non-celebrity kids who have parents that don’t even care if they are fed or housed? Why should anyone hurt for a spoiled little girl using drugs, etc. for no good reason (which is why lots of parents don’t take care of their kids). She really just isn’t that talented so don’t agonize over her.
i like this message,her parent are not horrible they just care about her!:):P
reponse to #21 (thewaymouth) — aren’t you forgetting Who is the Creator of “science” and “psychology” ??? My favorite definition of a scientist (pyschologist, doctor, etc.) is: “someone who devotes their entire life spent in diligent pursuit of understanding just how … God put it all together” :-)
First off, while AA makes use of the *concept* of a “higher power” it falls short; AA’s higher power is not (necessarily) God, so please don’t equate the two.
Most of your other conclusions are gross non-sequiturs or sarcastic exaggerations — you obviously formed a reaction to God’s “inadequacies” early in your life, as you seem to think that any solution involving God is childish. You haven’t noticed the integrity of the many adult men and women who have placed their faith in God.
One day you will be just as dead as everybody who believes in God. In fact, you may — unfortunately — be even MORE dead than they are (start reading the Bible if you care to figure that one out).
Praying that God will tap you gently on the shoulder with the sledgehammer neccesary for you to see the light …

[...] Ok, this has to be a fake. Really. I can’t believe, heartfelt or not, Lindsay would not only forgive her dad for writing another private letter to the press, but actually reconnect because of it. [...]
“Ha ha…” Sorry, I was laughing out loud there. Just read Lindsay’s Friend’s comment: “I think you underestimate how much God loves Lindsay.”
Wow. So Lindsay’s Friend knows God’s mind, what is in God’s heart? Is she an angel? She says she knows “God is building a hedge around Lindsay.” A hedge! What does that mean? So Lindsay can hide away & watch her garden grow?
In answer to lova’s question of “what kind of a moral publication would publish his letter to her anyway?,” Lindsay’s Friend says, “God can use *anything* to accomplish His purposes – and He does.” So God is using her Dad to send a message to Lindsay. So Papa Lohan is God’s mouthpiece. Next thing you know Lindsay’s Dad will be writing the new Gospels. Oh my Goddess.
I appreciate your comment Bill re: AA & God. I hear you. I think that is a big problem w/AA. God is used as a crutch, & a crutch that can fall out from under you… or be tossed away. Do it!
We’re talking about adults here. Lindsay turns 21 this July. What turned me off from my considering turning to a program similar to AA is the use of God, “the Higher Power.” & the program giving out little rewards to the members.
It is all so damned childish. It felt like people were going up to get stars put on their foreheads by the teacher. & as far as the Higher Power goes: You’re basing a higher power on a myth, on something that cannot be proven. All my base are belong to you.
This is a time in your life when you need to be on solid ground. When you need to use reliable methods to get healthy: science & psychology.
You change your behavior because you will feel better, be healthier, make clearer decisions, find strength in discipline. The reasons you make the change are the rewards. The Higher Power must come from within. The Higher Power is You. You harm or reward yourself. You rely on yourself.
It’s time to get w/the 21st Century. To become educated, to use tried, tested, true scientific methods. To get smart.
To you health, Lindsay!
re the aleister crowley guy, her father’s talking about the program of AA. I’m sure he’s one of those assholes but he’s also trying to weasel himself into her life by creating a c ommon bond and manipulating the basic principles of AA.
” … no father who truly loves her daughter, despite how desperate to talk to her, would put this type of private stuff in a magazine!! And don’t get me started on Dina Lohan… ”
I think you underestimate how much God loves Lindsay — enough to do *whatever it takes* (He already has done the First Work) to save her — from herself, and from her past (some of which is still all-too-present) and present pain. Sure — we could say that it’s all about her dad wanting publicity — but I think there’s a great deal more to it than that. If nothing else, her father has publicly enlisted the prayers of all whose hearts are crushed by her struggle. No – she’s not perfect — she’s ‘acted out’ in some very hurtful ways — to her career and to her health — I think she has been totally overwhelmed between her successful career, her abominable family history (and its present persistence), and just wanting to be a normal young woman who is LOVED by her parents (not “managed”) and who is searching for that someone special who loves her. Any one of those in itself would be enough of a challenge. No wonder she has resorted to numbing the pain (as Joseph Robert has so aptly described it) with substance abuse — what other comfort was there for her? And — by the way — this is certainly not an uncommon occurrence among people in Hollywood, is it.
All of us have had less-than-perfect parents — we either continue to hate them for their shortcomings – or forgive them so we can love them. Interestingly, this is stated in one of the lines from “A Woman of No Importance” by Rachel: “Children begin by loving their parents. After a time they judge them. Rarely, if ever, do they forgive them.”
People (including parents) make mistakes. People who are learning from their mistakes may continue to make other mistakes. Great people are often those who have made great mistakes – and learned from them. People who do not learn from their mistakes are rarely great.
True – “protocol” would dictate that such “private stuff” would ideally not be put in a magazine. But in spiritual warfare – which this is – “protocol” can be one of the most damning obstacles. If you doubt that, just think of how well-served the agents of hell have been by the “protocol” of “political correctness”.
Lindsay’s battle has been pushed out into the public, so it will be won in the public. Those of us who SUPPORT her will support her publicly just as those who publicly have tried to tear her apart. So while there can be arguments made as to the various short-comings here, I believe that God is “building a hedge” around Lindsay, and I commend her father for using all the fire-power at his disposal to help that effort along. Whatever his intentions are (God can use anyone), the results are, I believe, beneficial.
Neither I nor anyone else can know for sure what is in the heart of Lindsay’s father and mother, even (maybe especially) she can’t really know. But ultimately Lindsay – as do we all – belongs to a loving God, not her father or her mother. It will be for her to decide to accept His love for her – not her father’s decision, or her mother’s, or her publicist, etc. It appears that, being the caring person that she is, He has chosen her to join Him in showing the world what His love can – and will — do TODAY to save us for Himself. I think we can all be especially grateful for that in light of the news of Nicole Simpson – may God ever deliver Lindsay from that.
For those of you who have issues with “God” … without meaning to sound crass, while I hesitate to say you are in “good company”, I can certainly say that you are “not alone” – nor will you ever be. Do be advised, however, that this is totally of your own free choice. No one – not even God – can force you to believe in Him or accept His love for you.
lova – “what kind of a moral publication would publish his letter to her anyway?” — God can use *anything* to accomplish His purposes – and He does :-)
Joseph Robert — thank you for your understanding and prayer. I pray that you have found — or will find — that you also belong to our loving Heavenly Father – which may perhaps be difficult for you to know given your past experience. I pray for your eternal happiness in knowing Him as He really is, and His love for you.
Dee and neums – thanks for your support – keep praying … I already know you are :-)
Lindsay – I hope you are starting to find enough “safe” space to begin to sort things out. I know there is *MUCH* confusion — He will show you the way. I know there is *MUCH* pain – He can heal it. I know there will be more tears — He will wipe them from your eyes. There will be JOY in your heart AGAIN — the joy that was there before – only stronger this time – His joy that you share with Him will last – forever!
Stay strong. And even better, remember that when you are weak – HE is your strength.
Continuing to watch – and pray, as always, your “Affectionate Fan”
You can see it already on my site:
http://www.lohangroupie.com/lindsay-lohan-gets-a-message-from-dad/
what kind of a moral publication would publish his letter to her anyway?
btw arieanna, you should post all the other letters her dad wrote to her! :)
just curious.
This is a new letter. He has sent others to the press before, however. Sadly, it’s not the first time.
You tell it, Arieanna. I’m w/you spacekitty & JosephRobert. This letter is not supportive at all, but damaging.
What a bunch of hogwash! & How damn condescending of him.
First off Lindsay’s “Daddy” writes a letter to her but sends to the press, to a celeb-rag no less. LAME to the Nth Degree.
Then he has to drag God into it, like God exists. God is an unproven commodity, a concept, a fraud, a swindle, the biggest obscenity going used to hold people down, esp women. I could go on, tut tut the evil that gets done in the name of God & religion but it is endless. Now God’s being used to shame Lindsay. BS.
For proof, look at where Daddy talks about Satan, the implication being that Daddy is w/God, & Lindsay has been buddy-buddy w/the Devil. Like he exists, too. Now he’s being used to totally degrade Lindsay.
Daddy: “God is synonymous with truth, just as Satan is the ‘father of lies.’ We follow one or the other, it’s as simply as that. It’s our choice and one which will dictate the course of our lives.”
What a load. “We follow one or the other…” There’s no middle ground? You are either w/God or against him. Now & forever. There’s no going back either way. You are forever either a saint or a sinner. & Of course, it’s quite clear what the truth is. There is no debate as far as to just exactly what is good & evil.
He must be Catholic. It must be nice to be so damned right. Shame on you. PAPA DON’T PREACH!
What damn crimes has Lindsay committed? What sins? I’m sure that will be in his next letter to the world.
“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law… Love is the law, love under will.”
- Aleister Crowley
Lindsay’s quite good enough to be my hero. & to be her own, too. LOHANARCHY for the USA!
Mike Burns has left the bldg on fire 4 U…
see and this is he SAME REASON,ANGELINA JOLIE IGNORES HER FATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no the content of the letter is not bad,but why is he letting the WHOLE WORLD READ THE LETTER?
WTF?
and then after this,he’ll still wonder why she won’t speak 2 him.
UGH!!……..
This letter has been out for months now.. it isnt news. I dont even know how legit it is. Even though her parents dont know how to properly show support for Linds at least they do in some form, which is what counts in my opinion.
I feel so, so sorry for Lindsay. I had a parent like Lindsay’s. I know how tormenting it can be . I wanted so much to please my parents because I loved them but didn’t understand how they were manipulating my life. They used my felings for them to get to act a certain way and do certain things. I acted happy on the outside but on the inside I wanted to scream and cry! None of my friends knew what was happening inside of me. I started to do things like Lindsay is; stay out all night, everynight; overdosing, being crazy. I wanted to hurt myself because I started to hate myself because I was letting my parents run my life. They used guilt and my feelings for them to do it. That is why I feel so bad for Linday. Her father is so disgusting. Lindsay obviuosly still loves him and he is using that and religion to try to get to her, probably to get a piece of her money too. I like Lindsay because she seems like such a sweet and nice person. Her father knows this too and I am sure he knows what affect his words are having on her. I hope she is strong enough to stay away from him. Reading his letter is like reading the writings of huckster. He is so, so disgusting. I am afraid for Lindsay. She needs support right now, not this kind of trouble. I’LL say a prayer for her to be happy.
Keep in mind Lindsay is an adult now free to make her own choices, That’s why early training in the things of God are so crucial, so that when they get older they will not depart from that. Proverbs 22:6 In this case her father has made a life impacting decision to surrender his life to God through Jesus Christ.We can’t go back and fix what has all ready been done but we can go on and God can cover the past. There can be healing and restoration of a family. I know that first hand.
I like your religious thinking.
That’s true way for a human life to remember God every moment. God is very very lovely.
Isn’t it very nice that both Dina and Dad are trying to help her now that she is in rehab.
Where the f*** were they when she was drinking like a fish and clubbing til 6 am practically every night.
well if you really sit and think about it, what if he has sent letters and for some reason or another she just didn’t get them to read, I am a parent and when you hear of your children going through stuff you want to get to them,God put that within us because He is that way. This is a precious letter and I am sure he would have rather said it to her in person, we all make mistakes, I would only hope not one of my children or anyone else would hold them against me
because God doesn’t. 1John1:9
It’s not the content of the letter, it’s the fact that he sends it to a magazine instead of to Lindsay. That’s simply ridiculous, what if you were famous and instead of sending you a letter your dad sends one directed to you to some magazine? O.o He just wants attention, obviously.
it’s not that bad you know. what’s so bad about the letter?
