Lindsay Lohan's 22-year-old brother Michael Lohan Jr. doesn't usually put his name (or face) in the press, but he has released a statement to People about his sister and her struggle to get clean and sober. He tells the magazine:

    "I think that in the past, her vision had been blurred. People she was surrounded by – enablers, leeches, whatever you'd like to call it – made things very difficult. It's quite strenuous to right your wrongs when the people around you help justify your actions. Therefore, cloudy judgment made it easy for her to neglect those trying to guide her. People with addictive tendencies do not get better overnight, so that cannot be expected. However, her commitment to her current recovery is a side effect of the realization of her past mishaps. She is well-aware that she's at a crossroad in life, and is fully committed to ensuring a healthier future. She has made conscious efforts to improve her lifestyle behaviors and to treat this process with great care. In order to continue her healing process, she's willing to take whatever steps necessary. We – her mother, brothers, and sister – have been there for Lindsay every step of the way – despite what trashy news reports – and will continue to give her our support and strength during these arduous times."


Maybe Michael should be in charge of Lindsay's future? Last spring, Michael graduated from Ithaca College in New York, where he studied business and played lacrosse, and it seems like he's got his head on straighter than anyone!
