And in news about things that will likely only happen when pigs have wigs, addiction experts at the Betty Ford Clinic in Palm Springs are urging Hollywood eff-up Lindsay Lohan to drop her momager and chief enabler, Dina Lohan, as her manager if she wants any chance at staying clean, sober, and out of prison.
Drug counselors have warned The Lohans that if Dina continues to focus primarily on her daughter’s career rather than being a parent to her, the former child starlet will find it harder to beat the addiction to cocaine and alcohol that has plagued her
“Dina needs to no longer act as her manager, or work for her daughter in any capacity. Lindsay needs Dina to simply be her mother. Lindsay’s treatment team at Betty Ford has emphasized this to Lindsay, very, very strongly,” a source tells RadarOnline.com
The pressures associated with being the breadwinner in a family that includes her mother, grandmother, and three younger sibilings have also been identified as some of the triggers that have prompted Lohan’s numerous relapses.
“Lindsay feels the financial burden of taking care of her entire family,” the insider adds. “It’s enormous pressure for any person in their twenties, let alone someone that is battling with addiction. Lindsay and Dina don’t have a normal mother-and-daughter dynamic because of the length of time that Dina has worked for Lindsay.”
Even Elton John agrees. The music idol some hard-hitting advice LiLo’s way on the red carpet to his AIDS Foundation Fundraiser in Manhattan Monday night. The “Candle in the Wind” star battled cocaine and alcohol addictions of his own and believes the embattled starlet needs to go to rehab and get rid of her family — whom he dubbed “enablers” — in order to get better.
