"I definitely blame myself and take full responsbility for where my daughter is," he told Rob.
It was a different Michael, a father whose pain clearly wasn't put on by the camera. Talking about little Lindsay growing up in Long Island , going to auditions for TV jobs and finially hitting the big time in "The arents Trap," Michael had had tears in his eyes wondering how everything went so wrong so fast.
He clearly blames himself and his ugly divorce from Dina Lohan , but he didn't hesitate to offer harsh words for his ex , who he points out has never admitted any responsibility.
"If she [Dina ] doesn't get on board with me and mend fences , she will be the one person who will continue to destroy Lindsay," he told Rob. "She has to stop thinking about making money off Lindsay and she has to stop listening to her brothers and mother ; The three people who are keeping us apart."
Michael recounted how he and his ex were on friendly terms as recently as July 4 , but that after Lindsay was sentenced two days later , she began shunning him again.
Michael insists Dina has ignored professional advice on how to reign in their troubled daughter.
"Why is it that Lindsay's lawyers , therapists and doctors have asked Dina to have family counseling sessions , but she won't ?" Michael wondered , "If your kids matter that much , you make sacrifices and forsake oneself for your kids. This is all in Dina's hands. What she does will determined the outcome."
A friend said : 'Lindsay is still so vulnerable after only 13 days away from her crazy life.'
My spin : This is the best chance Lindsay has ever had t save her life, the longer Lindsay stays from bad influences and those around her who make bad decisions on her behalf...the better and that includes Dina.....but hey, that's just me.
Kicking back and keeping it real.
