Lindsay Lohan Wishes Dad Would “Shut Up”! October 18
A few posts ago, we already featured Michael Lohan expressing “concern” about daughter Lindsay. Once again, we could not help but think whether the fact that he is doing the rounds of everyone who would give him the time of day is actually proof of genuine fatherly concern.
Lindsay’s father is saying that he will not stop at anything to help his daughter, saying further that he fully intends to stage in intervention in her behalf. He dropped statements such as “I can’t even look at her,” and calling his daughter a “hollow person”. He claims that his daughter’s health is deteriorating because of prescription drug abuse. And Lindsay’s comment about her father’s statements? Us Magazine quotes the actress: “I just wish he would shut up.”
So, how exactly should an “intervention” be done, if indeed someone you know and love is indeed suffering from dependency on prescription drugs? For parents, the best way to start is to try and be more perceptive of their children and their children’s needs. Be conscious about the pills and medicines that are at home. If, for instance, you find pills that you are not familiar with lying around the house, then proactively try to find out what it is first. One tool that may be convenient is the online Pill Identifier; even more accurate will be to take the pill to your pharmacist and ask for help in identifying it.
If you indeed suspect that your child or loved one is addicted to prescription drugs, the last thing you may want to do is scream bloody murder and go tell everyone else about your undying love and concern. You may want to quietly talk to your loved one and ask him or her about the drug use and what you can do to help. You may want to find a treatment center and a good counselor, and learn about the risk factors for drug abuse.
