Patricia ArquetteThey’re one of the big Hollywood families but Patricia Arquette has revealed that Arquette family life wasn’t all sunshine and flowers.

Along with siblings Rosanna, Alexis and David, Patricia was beaten by her mother and found out her father, Lewis Arquette, was having an affair.

Patricia revealed recently: “I was Daddy’s little girl until I was 12, when I started seeing some of his flaws.”

“Mom had her flaws too. She was violent with us, just as her mom had been violent with her. I was scared, but at a certain point I said, ‘If you hit me, I am going to hit you back.’”

“When were both older we talked about it. There were a lot of things she couldn’t remember. But she made amends and accepted responsibility, which was all I needed.”
