I havebeen thinking about this show ever since I watched it.  I am in therapy now, but I can so relate to this girls issues with her father!  Growing up for me so much the same, except that besides the verbal abuse there was also the beatings (physical abuse) which we thought was excepted back in those days.

I cried when I watched this show, wishing that  the mother of ths child would step up and help her daughter, rather then sit back and let this father continue to verbally abuse and belittle his daughter.

Don't these "adults" realize what this will do to this child when she grows up!
