Blame and responsibility are not one and the same. The father is to blame for what he did to her. She is responsible for cleaning up her life. Twisterdog makes a valid point about Phillips continuing the incestuous relationship for 10 years until she was 30. She began as a victim but, IMO, she continued as a volunteer. She also had the opportunity to bring this all to light while her father was alive and for whatever reason, she chose not to. I can't help but think it's because she was off the radar screen and wanted attention. I saw part of an interview w/her where she talked about the incest and she was a little too free w/the toothy smiles. That isn't to say that she needs to be morbid for the rest of her life but she just didn't come across as genuine. However, no matter what did transpire, I do hope that she gets the help she needs and can manage to have as "normal" a life as possible. No one deserves to live in the shadow of incest.
