For the record: It's never been confirmed that her dad did any abusing, that's just speculation.
But yes, he did leave when she was 4 and she's sang some songs about him that may imply that there's more than that.
Anyway, RIP Patrick, and all the strength to the family
yeah right. she refused to visit him in the hospital even though she knew he was dying
But "Rest in peace daddy I love you.".. is the heartbreak bit.
I don't get why people are saying "RIP" to the father?, if you say that, it implies you respect her dad for what he did. Abusing little kids and and walking out of their life @ the age of 4 is never ok.
