How Nancy Reagan's daughter Patti Davis fell for Beach Boy Dennis Wilson but had a tubal ligation fearing she would end up like her mother who popped pills like candy and viciously slapped her face, head and ears
In her eulogy for Nancy Reagan last week daughter Patti Davis tearfully admitted that it was no secret that she had a 'contentious relationship' with her mother.
That was a massive understatement. And Patti told just how difficult it was was in her 1992 autobiography.
The First Lady was a 'mommy dearest' who popped sedatives like candy and started viciously slapping Patti around - in the face, head and ears - at age eight - a practice that continued that daily for years, Patti claimed.
Nancy told her husband Ronald Reagan that Patti was so bad she was killing her. Nancy would feign illness to get attention and sympathy from her husband.
She bought Patti ugly clothing, little Bo-Peep dresses that Patti hated, cut her hair short as soon as it grazed her cheek and spewed a constant stream of criticism.
The firestorms were so severe that at age twenty-four, Patti had a tubal ligation so that she could never duplicate raising a child the way Nancy had raised her.

(45,319 posts)way to make sure we all know that, so this business of claiming they were really child abusing addicts and the uncontested arch villains of the AIDS era is just naff. Let Hillary take her editor's pencil to living history and make of it that which she wishes it to be, that is her right as your superior.
