Finally
Quote From: hummingbirdbI registered just to submit this message. The Dad creeps me out every time he says he wants his daughter (whom he's abusing) to hug and kiss him. He doesn't mention good communication or enjoying each other's company as a measure of her love for him. He said at least 3 times he wanted her to "hug and kiss" him. Is the Dad the "family friend" who accosted her on the couch? Dad made her sleep there! This Dad needs more than retraining in discipline techniques. I hope the therapists explore whether or not his interest in his daughter is unhealthy. The mother would do nothing to protect the daughter from the father's unhealthy actions. The mother's betrayal is greater cruelty than the father's abuse. Finally someone put down exactly what I was thinking. I am surprised dr. Phil didnt pick up on it. Of course he has to be very careful on what he says on camera. I totally agree with you hummingbird you hit the nail on the head all the way around. I must add also that when he said in the first part of the show she wouldnt hug him, my immediate reaction was that he was sexually abusing her just by her adverse reaction to it. I didnt know till later that she had actually been abused. Somebody needs to help this poor girl. She doesnt need to stand at attention, SHE NEEDS ATTENTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
