OMG, that poor little girl. Tears are welling in my eyes, brings back many memories. And its even worse when the whole familiy knows but is in denial or telling her she is making a mountain out of a molehill. She has strength and courage though, hopefully that will get her through this. Excellent write. A couple of errors:
beggedI looked...dont think the I belongs here

Thank you for your comments. Sorry I made you sad. Also, I'll fix the errors you so graciously pointed out.

While I have not read what went before this, I can easily figure out the father is being sexually inappropriate with his daughter - and you present a sadly realistic picture of what goes on in far too many families where the mother allows it to happen by going into denial and convincing herself it is all some misunderstanding. The daughter's anger and frustration at this is convincingly and effectively depicted. The dialogue is pitch perfect. This is well-written. Brooke
