I agree with some of you that Lindsay is in fact spoiled, but she’s also damaged with those tragic parents. Maybe her parents are trying to make up for all the years they damaged the girl with their bickering and bitterness she had to witness by pulling back on the reins so to speak. Then again, Lindsay makes more money than they do.

Aside from the sentence I think a 90-day In-Patient Tx (treatment) is most important. If, however, Lindsay does not see a “bottom” to her addictions she will most likely recidivate (return to her addictions).
I think Lindsay is a wonderful actress, her method of acting is very intuitive and strong. She is certainly more talented than Nicole Ritchie, Paris Hilton, Kim K. Well, Kim IS an aggressive, hard working business woman, I’ll give her that.
I think Lindsay has a theatrical future if she can control her addictions which can dictate a person’s whole being to the point of beating down loved ones and friends. Like some of you stated, Drew Barrymore, who is a different person than Lindsay, got past her issues and moved forward. Lindsay may not be as likable as Drew, but I think she is a fighter and will prevail.
As far as the (F**k U) painted on her nails, Lindsay's addiction dictates that she defend it at all costs. I am sure no one in their right mind would go to court being defiant to the point of being disrespectful.
Lindsay and her family need lots of therapy to help get past all their issues which may or may not have helped to lead Lindsay on her destructive path. Good luck to that family whatever happens.
