I don't think Stevie's ever really been "negative" in things she's said about Lindsey. The most biting comments were made during the Klonopin Years, of course, and she has since admitted that she apologized to a lot of people after kicking the Klonopin, for the things she said and did while addicted to it. She took responsibility for her actions, owned up to them and apologized for them.

But, even then, her comments at the time sounded to me (and I admit to having a bit of a bias) that she was simply being candid about how SHE felt during those years, and how things he did made her feel.
Of course she couldn't comment on how the things she did in turn made HIM feel, because she's not him and wouldn't know. Those comments would have to come from him.

I don't think Lindsey was the bad guy. I don't think Stevie was the bad guy. In fact, I don't think there was a "bad guy" -- just two relatively young people, trying to navigate their way through life, careers, romantic relationships, fame, etc.
Who doesn't screw up royally now and then, even without the added baggage of wealth and mass adulation?

That they can work together now and tour together for two years, says a lot about each of them as people and about their relationship (I'm not implying a torrid love affair with that statement though -- so no wrong ideas).
Expecting them to get along 100% of the time is unrealistic... they'll always have a complicated relationship. But they are in each other's lives, when they could very easily have gone the route of never seeing or speaking to each other again (Michelle & John Phillips, for example).

Here's how I look at it: If Lindsey were an awful, violent, jealous bastard, then Stevie wouldn't have anything to do with him.
If Stevie were a calculating, spiteful, vindictive bitch, then Lindsey wouldn't have anything to do with her.

And if either of them exhibited some of that behaviour in the past, well, then, that's all water under the bridge now, and the two people that behaviour would have affected most, have obviously matured since then and have forgiven each other.

Ok, time to head off to work!
