My stepfather molest me; however, I didn't tell my mom until years later.  After they were already divorced, she asked me about it and I told her.  She said that she had asked me beforehand and I denied it.  Personally, I don't remember her asking me, but anything is possible.

Personally, I believe it could be possible that she was molested based on how I acted.  I didn't want anyone to know, kept quiet, and stayed away from home. 

Unfortunately, I feel that Corina has told the truth.  She was probably scared, confused and as a fourteen year old, how would you react to your step father molesting you?  The fact that Chris said on the show he wouldn't submit to a lie detector test speaks volumes.  Why wouldn't he want to get this part of the process out of the way.  If he has nothing to hide,,,,,,Dr Phil's words"those who have nothing to hide, hide nothing!"  My heart goes out to Corina and Ryan.  They both should definitely seek counseling as Dr Phil said.  As for Leslie, the fact that she took her husband's word over her daughter's......well...Leslie, you will forever regret that because you can get another man and trust me, Chris is not a real man.  His body language and what he had to say made him look like the fool he really is.  No matter who takes the lie detector test, God knows what happened and believe me, Corina is going to need some serious counseling and I wish for her and Ryan that they can make their marriage work.  Seek God for strength and courage.  I have been through something similiar and I still have "flashbacks".  Molestation, emotinal and verbal abuse affects all areas of your life.  I am praying for you and know God is watching and if you turn to Him, He will get you through this.  Corina, worry about YOU, don't worry about your mother and definitely don't give Chris one moment of thought.  If he has done this awful, awful act, he will pay.  Leslie is defending him, for what..she needs help as well.  All of you are in my prayers....Corina, stay strong and God Bless you and Ryan.......Much Love to you two..........

I BELIEVE THE CHRIS, STEP FATHER AND THE GIRLS MOTHER, LESLIE. THE TEENAGER IS LIEING EVERY TIME SHE OPENED HER MOUTH. SHE IS ANGRY BECAUSE MOM GOT REMARRIED. HER REALL DAD DOESN'T WANT HER AND SHE ISN'T THE CENTER OF ATTENTION ANYMORE. SHE IS BEING A 6YR OLD IN A TEENAGE BODY. SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BE MARRIED TO HER HUSBAND OR SHE WOULDN'T HAVE SCREWED AROUND W/ SOMEONE ELSE. SHE FIGURED IF SHE TOLD MOM STEP DAD MOLESTERED HER  MOM WOULD KICK HIM TO THE CURB AND IT WOULD JUST BE MOM, DAUGHTER AND LITTLE BROTHER. BUT IT DIDN'T WORK OUT THAT WAY. WHY DOES THE 16 YR GET TO DECIDE IF SHE STAYS MARRIED AND WHERE SHE LIVES? IF SHE WANTS TO "BE AN ADULT" LET HER GET AMANSPATED. THEN SHE HAS TO FIX ALL HER OWN PROBLEMS AND THERE WILL BE PROBLEMS. SHE BETTER NOT GO RUNNING BACK TO MOM WHEN SHE ISN'T HAPPY ANYMORE. AS FOR LESLIE'S SON WE DON'T KNOW IF OR WHY HE WAS ADOPTED AND IF HIS MOM SIGNED PAPERS. MAYBE HE WANTED TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE BECAUSE OF HIS SPOILED, PRIMA -DONNA SISTER WAS MAKING THINGS HARD ON HIM AND HE FOUND A WAY OUT. ALSO THE MOTHER SAID SHE WOULD TAKE CARE OF HER DAUGHTER WHILE SHE IS LIVING W/ THE GRANDMOTHER. THAT IS BEING A RESPONSIBLE PARENT. THE DAUGHTER JUST DOESN'T WANT TO STAY W/ MOM AND STEP DAD BECAUSE MOM GIVES ATTENTION TO HER HUSBAND NOW AND LITTLE 16 YR OLD DOESN'T LIKE IT. ALSO THE GIRL HAS RULES NOW AND NO MATTER WHO WAS GIVING THEM SHE WOULDN'T LIKE IT. THE BABY IS BEING PICKED ON. I SAY MOM IS SHE WANTS TO BE AN ADULT LET HER, PROBLEMS AND ALL. CONCINTRATE ON YOUR SON AND YOUR HUSBAND. AND LET THE 16 YR OLD GROW UP TO FIND OUT YOU WERE A GOOD PARENT AFTER ALL. WHEN SHE HAS KIDS AT 17 SHE WILL SEE.................

SHAME ON DR PHIL NOT SHAKING THE GIRL UP AND MAKING HER REALIZE SHE SCREWED UP BIG TIME. YOU ARE USALLY SCREEMING IN PEOPLES FACES WHEN IT IS NOT NECESSARY. BUT THIS TIME YOU DIDN'T EVEN RAISE YOUR VOICE TO THE KID.... AND SHE IS A KID. YOU DIDN'T DIG ENOUGH INTO WHY THE SON LEFT OR LET THE MOM EXPLAIN. YOU SHOULD GIVE THE MOTHER COUNCLEING, ETC SUPPORT JUST LIKE YOU DID THE DAUGHTER.

STEP DAD YOU SHOULD TAKE THE LIE DETECTOR TEST TO PROVE TO EVERYONE YOU DID NOT DO ANYTHNG TO YOUR STEP DAUGHTER. YOUR WIFE BELIEVES YOU, MANY OF US BELIEVE YOU BUT TO CLEAR IT UP ONCE AND FOR ALL, TO PROVE YOU WERE TELLING THE TRUTH, PLEASE TAKE THE TEST.
