Sorry to go back to Amy Winehouse again, but you can sort of see why the poor girl is a mess.

It's been my experience that those who abuse their bodies with drugs, drink etc, have one thing in common: problems within their family which result in them becoming 'the identified patient'. I include my own family in this, so I'm not being as arsey as I sound!

So it really pisses me off when I see or hear that publicity seeking father of hers pontificating about her all the time. He's been at it again this week, all over the papers and sounding off on Radio One about how she needs to/is going to rehab. And then there's his 'fight' with Pete Doherty. It's not Pete Doherty who brought her up.

Maybe if Mitch didn't feel so guilty and didn't feel such a need to justify himself, he'd be better able to deal with his daughter's problems in a way that might help her.
