Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 893007, member: 127"] One of the biggest fairy tales is the "princess" tag for Kerrigan. Her dad was a welder, worked as many as 3 jobs to finance her skating career and drove the local rink's ice resurfacer in exchange for Kerrigan's early skating lessons. Her family was middle class, many saying lower middle class despite the characterizations that she was a haughty,privileged, silver spoon royal type. In 2010, her 70 year old father died of a heart attack while in a heated violent confrontation with her drunken brother who had alcohol and mental issues. He was tried and acquitted of involuntary manslaughter in their fathers' death but convicted and imprisoned for assault and battery. Her family had issues too but I haven't seen nor heard her try to capitalize on it, use it for an excuse for her own bad behavior or to hurt others. [/QUOTE]
