When asked by Matt Lauer about whether she thinks Lindsay’s current trip to rehab will result in sustained sobriety, Dina responded: “We take it one day at a time. Addiction is difficult, I don’t have a crystal ball. I pray hard.”

She then added that the actress, “wants to start her own facilities, help other children.”
Despite some wariness stemming from Lindsay’s past failed attempts at recovery, Dina added they, “can only be positive and look to the future to help other families.”
Dina also touched on speculation that Lindsay might once again be released from rehab early. This time however, Dina says Lindsay is in it for the long haul at the Betty Ford Center.

“Absolutely,” Dina said about wanting Lindsay to remain at the facility until January. “Lindsay wants to stay. She’s learning the triggers points...it’s a lifelong journey.”
Dina also said that the responsibility to remain sober is squarely on her daughter’s shoulders from now on. “It’s her journey. It’s up to her.”

At the beginning of the interview, Dina opened up about Lindsay’s current state of mind, calling her daughter “happy, relaxed” and a “different person.”
“This one (Betty Ford), to me, has really changed her, they get into your psyche and the family. They bring the problem to the surface.”

“I am here for Lindsay and whatever will make her heal and make her feel better,” Dina said.

Maybe Michael is getting throgh to Linds..he's been saying for awhile he wants to open a rehab center. At least he is finally keeping his mouth shut about the personal stuff. Sad when Michael looks like the best out of the two parents.

These two pathetic people need to be quiet & Never EVER speak publicly about their daughter again. They know this isn't helpful to Lindsay yet they continue...day after day, yr after yr. Stupid, selfish poor excuse for parents.

They need to stop worrying about "helping other families" and concentrate on themselves. There's enough work there to last a lifetime. Btw- why is she talking about her daughters v private business on tv??? Poor LL. She never stood a chance.

Hmmm... ROL left out words of her quote. Unless MSN has it wrong... it is "She’s so public that I think we can only be positive and look to the future to help other families." What is with the "I" and "we" again? Isn't this about Lindsay?

When Dina speaks, Lindsay loses one more supporter. On her own, Lindsay can do it and make a comeback. With Dina's "help", Lindsay will lose any fan base she has left.
