In a recent interview, their superstar daughter Miley Cyrus called the ordeal a "dark decade" and revealed that she's been working hard to heal the family's deep divisions.

"Trace isn't done by a long shot," said an insider. "He wants his dad to suffer and feels angry that he's gotten a pass from the rest of the family after all the pain he's caused."
Tish Cyrus and Dominic Purcell, both center, are moving on, but Trace won't drop his public feud with dad Billy Ray, far left.
Tish has since remarried, to Aussie hunk Dominic Purcell, 55, and according to the source, she's not holding a grudge against her ex either.
"They're all telling Trace to let it go and saying no good can come out of going after him publicly," said the insider.
"But he's like a dog with a bone. He considers his father pure scum, and this is his way of getting closure. He's asking the others to back him and threatening to raise merry hell if they don't."
