Crazed Rhode Island hockey gunman had ‘demons,’ alienated family well before he became trans: daughter

PAWTUCKET, Rhode Island — Trans killer Robert Dorgan battled “demons” throughout his life, and alienated all his six of children due to a pervasive pattern of “toxic” behavior even before he started living as a woman, his daughter told The Post.

Despite his years of troubling behavior, his family kept giving him second chances, said Amanda Wallace-Hubbard, 36.

“Gender identity was not remotely a factor in him being ostracized from the family, at least on the part of myself or my siblings, it really was just a symptom of something that had been going on that was much deeper his entire adult life. He struggled with some demons his entire life,” she said.

She said she tried for decades to look past her father’s dark side but finally had enough after having children of her own.

She finally cut her dad out of her life in an effort to shield her kids from his volatile behavior.

“My siblings and I have all gone through ups and downs about how we handle his level of involvement in our lives, because for all his flaws, he had a few redeeming qualities,” she said.
