An open letter to my teenage starlet

Banged-up and denied access, Michael Lohan is reduced to trying to contact his daughter the only way he knows how: by splashing the family's dirty laundry over the paper and sending an open letter to Lindsay:

“It pains me to have to write to you like this, but it’s evident that my letters never reach you. My messages never get to you and ‘people’ continue to build walls between us.

“I can’t even begin to tell you how very sorry I am for causing you (and our family) the heartache and embarrassment I have.

“I hold you absolutely blameless for all that’s been said and portrayed, as I know it has been under the advice of others, to sway both the courts and public opinion.

“I also know the pain that comes with love, especially when two hearts and lives are divided. Sometimes we run — we seek to hide or just escape from the pain.

In the meantime, people are either whispering in our ear, giving self-serving advice, or out to protect their own interests.

“Unfortunately sweetheart, while you are so talented and blessed you have become their interest! As I told you all along, this would happen.”

We're not sure who's whispering in Michael's ear, but bearing in mind he's locked in a jail, it might be best to not speculate. Especially when he says he knows the pain that comes with love.
