LOHAN WAS SECOND PARENT DURING TOUGH CHILDHOOD

LINDSAY LOHAN was forced to intervene in fights between her parents as a child and acted as a "second parent" to her three siblings. The Mean Girls star witnessed many angry rows between her mother Dina and father Michael in the family home, but as the eldest of four children, felt it was her duty to protect her brothers Michael and Dakota, and younger sister Ali. She says, "I feel like a second parent in the sense that I helped raise my family. When my friends and family are around me, I feel like they're safe. No matter what happens, we're going to be fine." The star's estranged father was released from a New York state prison last month (Mar07) after serving almost two years for driving while intoxicated, among other charges.
