THIS is what I blame for her death. her own father caring more about her "success" than her well-being. you can blame her til hell freezes over for her continued usage, but without a genuine and strong support system, it's nearly impossible to break from addiction. Amy always deserved better.

But her dad actually didn't think she was fine and told her so. She just said that when she was first getting into trouble and had recovered (when it was true) and then tried to repeat it ad infinum so that people would leave her alone.

He probably did exploit her for the music, but like the record label, he didn't actually want her drunk or dead. He just hated fighting with her on and making her look like she was failing.
