Did you read the article? He doesn't sound (at least from what they've presented here) like that bad of a father, at least not any worse than other ones who only get to see their kids one weekend a month. He had a criminal past but nothing super horrible, right? Reckless driving and fourth-degree assault? Meh. She, on the other hand, was an addict and clearly is a piece of crap. Her dad may very well have been a horrible father for all we know, but that doesn't excuse her shitty behavior. She's 23, has been an adult for a long time now, and has had ample opportunity to come forward, but didn't. Because she is a shitty person.
