Neither Stevie nor Lindsey has ever come clean about each of their contributions to their disastrous relationship. Stevie in fact has chosen to paint this rosy picture-- wasn't it in the early 2000s she was banging on about how they'd had all these deep talks and had come to understand each other's pain and etc better and now they got along so fabulously, wasn't it SHE who persisted in crafting this whole hand-holding, fall in love all over again sh&t onstage and in interviews for years and years??

i think she and Mick, both. she kept banging on about when Lindsey's kids grow up he'll have no reason to stay with his wife and will come back to her. i guess now when his kids did grow up and he's not coming back to her, and in fact stop appeasing her ego all together after Christine came back, she pulled the trigger. so Lindsey is guilty in appeasing Mick and Stevie and playing along with the "everlasting love" thing, maybe if he put a cut on it earlier Stevie would had less power to oust him. or she would try this ousting earlier.
John didn't do any more mea culpa than Lindsey did, so that excuse doesn't fly. Lindsey was asked several times about his temper in the past and he commented on it. but yes he didn't specifically blame drugs and alcohol.yet he clearly stopped drinking all together.
