Family week is currently taking place at Betty Ford in Rancho Mirage, but Michael Lohan tells us he is still being shut out from seeing his daughter Lindsay and from taking part in this week's family counseling sessions. Contrary to Michael's situation, Dina will be allowed into the rehab facility ... which, we're told, is at Lindsay's request.

Michael tells X17online exclusively:

    "Now it's being reported from "inside" Betty Ford that my daughter feels the burden Dina has put on her as a manager ...and this is one of the issues which has led Lindsay to her problems. Gee Wiz, so you mean that after I gave Dina the house, the furnishings, the money in the bank and the "burden" of our children, and she still owes me and my family money she borrowed, she still finds the need to suck the life and more money out of Lindsay.

    I feel for you Linds, I still battle the same. But Mom still has her most precious commodity; you, Michael, Ali and Cody.. The only problem is, you are not pawns on a chess board ( oooops, wrong analogy, because Mom doesn't know how to play chess), so let's say, you are not numbers on her NEGATIVE balance sheet, rather, YOU ARE, living, breathing and blessed creations that we brought into the world and we are responsible for. Speaking of which, why did Mom miss orientation for family week when it was the most important day? Why did she choose to go to LA first and spend the night? Could it be she needed to get her groove on first or possibly did she have to buy a FLUSH to clean her system out with... before she went to Betty Ford? Boy, I guess she gave up the Botox and she's using straight Vodka to embomb herself with. Nothing like flying high!"


Papa Lohan tells us that he has written a letter to Lindsay ... and that while he's in the desert, he'll attempt to drop it off at the facility in the hopes it will be given to her.
