When this child formed the marital relationship, she was not under the rules of her parental home. Anything that would interfere in this child's life at this point, I believe will only make the situation worse for it seems that she does love Ryan.
I also am wondering if Mom wants the marriage annuled because she feels that her daughter has somehow tainted her marriage, so she is wanting to do a pay back kind of thing? I don't know for sure, being this child will be living with the grandmother instead of the mother...why does the mother want to keep control a going when the control is in the grandmother's hands if this child is given an annulment...doesn't make sense to me...really.
I believe the step father not wanting to take a polygraph test is a way of admitting that something did transpire...if not, then why not go for it to end the drama or does he like the drama to continue?
Mother's that chose the victimizer over the child, generally don't fair well...in bridging the gap between mother and daughter.
Sixteen years old is a tough time for any kid a wanting to deal with the real world. I got married at 18 years of age and I know that I was too young to take that big step...I did hang in there until my second child was born and I saw that our relationship wasn't getting better it was a getting worse.
I wish that I could have had someone like Dr. Phil a helping me out...perhaps I would have chose to stay at home amidst the chaos and drama of having two parents both physical yet not accountable being they both were alcoholics at the time and my dad was when out of it, a trying to corner me for sexual favors...
I wish more for this beautiful child...yet it is her wish and she already has cracked that book cover and now what she does with her life is her and Ryan's concern and not the mother's problem any longer...
I too placed my children at 14 and 16 with their real dad, for I believed at that time that sons needed to know their dad and their dad them...being I had raised them and he wasn't given the chance due to our marriage ending so abruptly due to him having a need to experience the dating world that he had never known being he got married at 19 to me, just having turned 18 years of age.
I also allowed my sons to live with their dad, because their dad was always a interfering in how I and their step father was a raising them...we could never do anything right and our sons were always a coming back from dad's with orders on how to do a better job than what I was a doing...so I gave him his chance.
Do i regret it today? Sometimes...for dad was an alcoholic as well and I believe that my sons didn't advance much from the stay with dad...yet I will have to take that up with God when I return Home.
Those are my thoughts.
May You All Be Blessed
Love, Light and Peace

A teen marriage, accusations of sexual abuse, maternal abandonment – you name it, this family drama has it all. Leslie says she didn’t give permission for her 16-year-old daughter, Corina, to marry Ryan, 18, and now wants the union annulled. Corina says she wants her mother to back off and stay out of her life because she was abandoned, and her mother doesn’t get a vote. She says her mother is retaliating against her because she accused her stepfather, Chris, of molesting her two years ago. Leslie says Corina has a history of lying, and she finds it hard to believe her daughter was sexually abused. Who’s telling the truth? Can this mother-daughter relationship be repaired, and should Corina end her marriage? Tell us what you think!
