Lindsay Lohan’s life is on a downward spiral. Let’s recap: First she and Samantha Ronson were fighting constantly and getting incessant press about their relationship. Then they broke up, Lindsay was barred for a party where Sam was DJing, Sam changed the locks of her house and the Ronson family visited a police station to inquire about a restraining order. Then Lindsay somehow thought that it would be a good idea to get on the cover of Us Weekly to complain about her life and whine that “everyone has turned against her.” Michael Lohan assured the media that he would be clearing his busy schedule to help out his daughter – his estranged daughter who doesn’t want anything to do with him. And now, after all of this, Dina Lohan is said to be begging Lindsay’s friends to help her daughter.

According to an item in Thursday’s NY Post, Dina Lohan, who is more famous for boozing and partying with her daughter than for actually being a responsible parent, is now “begging Lindsay’s friends to go there and help her.”

Says the paper’s source, “All of Lindsay’s life, Dina never acted like a role model. She only ever wanted to be her friend. Lindsay keeps getting used, and she never stood a chance at happiness.”

Even those who are paid to watch out for her have abandoned ship, says the report. “Lindsay is on hiatus with her publicist because she’s not working or booking jobs,” says the paper’s insider. “She is completely unmanageable. It has never been possible to control her or advise her. Lindsay needs to get psychiatric help.”

The part about this that scares me is that Dina thinks Lindsay’s friends (if there are any left) would be any help at all. The comment that she “never stood a chance at happiness” is actually quite insightful. Lindsay has constantly been told “yes” – from her bosses, from her minions, from her friends, and even from her family. No one has taught her the consequences of bad decisions. After the breakup, Sam reportedly was accusing Lindsay of abusing drugs. It sounds to me like Sam was the first person in Lindsay’s life willing to tell her when she had gone too far. Dina’s not going to be able to make anything happen, unless she’s able to convince Lindsay to get psychiatric help – which I doubt she will, unless she’s able to invent a reality show out of it.
