- More Amy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse is “in denial” over her drug addiction and has developed a drink problem, her parents have revealed.
In an interview with ITV News, her mum Janice said: “"The need to rescue her is enormous. Amy is in denial all the time.”
She added: "I just want her to be okay and I would do whatever it took to make that right. Amy is in denial all the time. She probably feels trapped, her body is trapping her.
"But I know with addiction you do not have the choice because the substance itself directs you."
Her father Mitch says he has exhausted every possible tactic to try and cure Amy but to no avail, saying: "I tried it all - I said, 'Amy you've got to do this, you've got to go to this doctor, you've got to do this, you've got to do that, you're killing me, you're killing your mum'. None of it worked."
Mitch blames Amy's husband Blake Fielder Civil for her drug-taking and says he doesn't see a future in their marriage.
He continued: “The option of them being together is too horrible to contemplate. They are going to get divorced and who knows what's going to happen down the line.
"Amy and Blake have decided that they want to get on with their lives separately, and if they get back together again in the future and they're both clean and they still love each other, that's up to them."
Amy Winehouse has been living in St Lucia for most of 2009 in a bid to stay clean.
