How Low can she go? An expert’s dire warning if Lindsay doesn’t get help ASAP
With each of her disturbing antics seemingly hitting a new low, you would think logically that Lindsay Lohan couldn’t sink much further.
But in these all-too-common occurrences and brushes with the law, the trouble-magnet’s behavior just gets worse….and worse.
At this point in time, to say she is spiraling out of control, is an understatement- she is in need of serious professional help.
As new details emerged of her 4am arrest when she punched Tiffany Eve Mitchell in the face at club Avenue in New York (the fight was said to be over Max from British boy band “The Wanted” who rejected her sloppy drunk advances; she was allegedly high, according to RadarOnline; she spat on the girl; she screamed at the cops), is this free fall into the depths of depravity a serious cry for attention or the sign that psychologically, she has bigger issues that just drug and alcohol abuse?
For normal people, several stints behind bars and countless trips to rehab would have signaled their rock bottom, but for Lohan the pit seems wide, open and gaping.
Richard Taite, founder and CEO of Cliffside Malibu Treatment Center and best-selling author of Ending Addiction for Good, says that Lohan isn’t just a problem to herself, but now possess a risk to others around her.
“She is definitely spiraling out of control,” he tells Celebzter. “She is continually getting into trouble and any reasonable person can tell she needs help. Given her numerous arrests and convictions, any sober person would be motivated to stop their destructive behavior but addicts don’t think that way.”
“She is walking a slippery slope and if she doesn’t get help soon she will, in all probability, seriously hurt herself or someone else,” he adds.
Having two warring parents is not helping her cause either. Today her dad, Michael, pointed the finger of blame clearly at Dina (she has so far remained mum on her daughter’s latest brush with the law) and Taite thinks that Lohan is sliding into a drug and drink oblivion to block out the dysfunction of her family unit.
“This can typically happen to people when they don’t get their emotional needs met as children. Sometimes, the anger they feel consciously or unconsciously causes them to act out aggressively. To dull the emotional pain they may turn to drugs and alcohol. Lindsay has had so many episodes of this nature that she really needs to get professional, long-term treatment where she will learn to change her lifestyle and habits.”
The question now is, will this girl, who is only 26, and has been given more chances than most people have to reform and clean up her act, get help before it is too late?
