Selena's dad was an abusive douche
If that was the Quintanilla-approved version, I'd hate to see how bad he was in reality.
There is a man...he travels fast...he has purpose...he brings violence and destruction.
I wouldn't call Abraham abusive. He was a stubborn, close-minded and overbearing Mexican father who was trying to live out his failed musical career through his children. However, that does NOT mean he didn't love his kids, nor does it mean he "abused" them.
Like another poster mentioned - Joe Jackson was abusive, especially to Michael, because Michael was the "star of the family". He treated Michael Jackson horribly, he physically beat him, verbally abused him, and mocked him. Abraham Quintanilla pushed his kids, but he was not abusive like Joe Jackson was.
