Redmond O’Neal’s father Ryan made a court appearance to stand by his troubled son on Thursday and the support he showed for his youngest child has drawn sympathy from another Hollywood father – Michael Lohan.
In an open letter exclusively obtained by RadarOnline.com Lindsay Lohan’s father reaches out to Ryan – father to father - sharing his struggles with his own famous family in an attempt to lend his support.

Ryan,
It seems we sailed the same seas in a number of ways. First with addiction, second with relationships with our children and last, the loss of a loved one. On a number of occasions I wanted to reach out to you , but because we were dealing with the same situations at almost the same exact time , I held off.
I guess what I want to say is that I feel your pain and understand your frustration. I will even venture to say the I share the guilt, that I have and you may as well. I will say however, that I have come to KNOW, that as fathers, we can only hold ourselves accountable, for our part, for so long.
After that, its up to others, to live up to their end and hold themselves accountable as well. And as painful and frustrating as it may be, as long as we are honest with ourselves, God seems to calm the seas and helps us to weather whatever storm comes our way. And in doing so, maybe and hopefully, our children will see, learn and get through the storm as well.
My heart goes out to you, Ryan and Tatum. May God bring peace to both of our families.
Michael Lohan

It's not appropriate to make something like this public, Michael Lohan. If you want to help or "reach out," just do it. No fanfare or publicity is needed for sincere efforts.

there is no sincerity to this letter. it's for a paycheck and attention.

All I GOTTI say, is Dilo had better get a job!!!! Cause as soon as the kids are of age, Milo is gonna cut her off like a cheap suit! Then, she'll be facing homelessness because she depends on his child support to LIVE!

OMG- Lohan says he can relate? Ryan O'Neal has starred in numerous movies and was Rodney in Peyton Place. Michael Lohan is a talentless slob who is a leech. What a douche..

Here we go again with another shameless attempt by Lohan to capitalize on someone else's problems.
He stops at nothing to be seen in the news.

What a GR8 dad, he pays Lyndsay's rent, medical insurance, and legal bills all while paying his dead beat ex wife too much child support and keeping a roof over her head and his. And he has a acting career! ROLE MODEL!

he doesn't pay a thing no matter how many times you write he does. he can't keep a job or an apartment, dina again, just went after him for not paying child support. he is definitely not paying anything for Lindsay.
