Quote From: sweetcakes88I was amazed at how calm and nonchillant he was after Dr. Phil read him the letter from his daughter, and even at that he showed no emotion after the conversation of the possibility of her being raped, he still showed no emotion until Dr. Phil went back to talk to his daughter, which left me wondering if he had been the one who molested her due to the lack of intervention on his part and his wifes????
I believe the father was non-emotional because he is still very much in denial. I think he is walking through the paces because he thinks that is what he needs to do. I don't think he has the self esteem to acknowledge what a huge mistake he has made and to remedy it. It will take work before he is ever going to be able to really come to terms with what he is doing. He may never have the strength or commitment to do so. It is asking a huge amount of personal growth from him that he may not be able to attain given he is already middle aged. The focus has to be on a patch fix to save the girl.
