During her appearance on Good Morning America this Thursday, her first appearance since her father Patrick Lovato's death, Demi Lovato spoke about her relationship with her father.
"I'm handling it OK," Lovato said. "My father and I didn't have the most ideal relationship. But at the end of the day, he's still my dad. I grew up with him, and he's a wonderful person."
Demi's mother and father divorced in 1994, and since then Demi's relationship with him has been rocky. During her interview she opened up about her father's mental illness, saying "I've dealt with mental illnesses, and my father also dealt with mental illness. He wasn't able to function in society very well."
"The best thing about my fans is that they have stood by me through everything that I've been through in my life," she continued. "They can help me get through anything."
During the interview Demi also announced she would be launching the Lovato Treatment Scholarship Program, which will help with the cost of treatment at Cast Recovery, in honor of her father's memory.
Our hearts go out to Demi and her family during this time, they will be in our thoughts.
