The fact that the man in this sick relationship was her FATHER is what makes it wrong. If the man was a neighbor, a teacher etc. it would be a different story entirely. Her FATHER should never have touched her. I don't care how old she was when it started. Do you know how powerful FATHER figures are, in most girls lives? I know that my father ruled the roost in our house. He, however, did not have a sexual relationship with me.
I put 100% of the blame on the father, sorry, but that is my take on this entire mess.
Is she pushing her book for the money? Probably. Does she need the money? Probably.
I would never publish anything like this .... but I am not in her shoes.
Will more people "come out" and talk about their relationships or others' in the families? Probably.
Anyone who was in a sexual relationship with their father or mother, deserves a little slack and is the innocent party for sure. Come on, aren't parents supposed to know better? Do you really think anyone at age 20 is totally responsible for much they do?
I give this young woman a pass and let her sell her book, recover some money, and live on. She deserves some support and compassion. No FATHER should touch a daughter.
I won't buy her book (or Sarah Palin's) because they are not ones I want to read or buy.
