Lindsay Lohan<\/a>\u2019s rarely seen younger brother Dakota has sparked concerned after sharing a cryptic post about his ‘bad habits.’<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old actor opened up on Instagram Wednesday, reflecting on personal growth, accountability, and the importance of taking ‘baby steps’.<\/p>\n

\u2018Day by day I\u2019m understanding as well as accepting myself more so for the good, bad and indifferent.,’ he wrote. ‘I would tend to not take accountability for my behaviors and make excuses to justify my own ignorance and bad habits, that ship has sailed.’<\/p>\n

He concluded: ‘Baby steps are a beautiful thing, no need to rush the beauty of the journey. Baby rant complete. #smile #bekind #love.’<\/p>\n

He shared a series of intimate family photos, including rare snaps with Lindsay<\/a>, her husband Bader Shammas, and throwbacks showing the Lohan siblings\u2014including brother Michael Jr. and sister Aliana\u2014as children.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another photo showed their mother, Dina, but their father Michael –\u00a0 who split from her in 2007 –\u00a0 was noticeably absent from the carousel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
