That poor woman. The word consensual is misleading. Ms. Phillips did not have the psyche of an adult at the time that her father took advantage of her. He taught her how to shoot up when she was only eleven years old. They got high together for years. People who blame her and call her a "sicko" have no idea what was going on in her head. The first time it happened, she woke up to her father having sex with her. That is not consensual, it is rape. She may have agreed to the relationship thereafter, but it was in no way the same as a truly consensual relationship. It was coercion. She desperately wanted for her father to love her. I am amazed that she is doing as well as she is today, that she didn't wind up dead.
There is, in truth, no such thing as a consensual parent-child sexual relationship. No matter how old the child is, it is still a power-over-other relationship to a degree. It would have to be an exceedingly dysfunctional relationship in the first place for such a thing to ever occur.

Remember Chris Klein? The hunk who starred in "Election" and "American Pie," and dated Katie Holmes before she became Mrs. Tom Cruise? He's back in "American Reunion," which hits theaters April 6. But it hasn't been an easy road since then. After a taste of sudden fame, Klein tells People magazine he became an alcoholic.
"I would have died, and I think about that every single day," the actor, 33, tells the mag. After two DUI arrests and a jail sentence, Klein decided to change course -- and he's been sober for 19 months.
"It got to the point where I was a fragile shadow of the young man that came into this business," he says. "Today, I'm the luckiest guy alive." From Klein to Arnold Schwarzenegger to Ricky Martin, click through our slideshow and let us know: What was the most shocking celeb confession?

I want to add that neither was McKenzie until she continued past 18. At that age (and let's admit 2 or 3 years before that) she KNEW better and continued. EDIT NOTE: After submitting my answer, I read RoseyRhod's response and I agree with her detailed explanation. It is "right on the money."
Incest is far too common: Those who commit incest have a special little corner of Hell waiting on Judgment Day.
Just saying
Where are the clowns ? They're already here !!!!!!
Obviously, I wasn't doing a good job and you pointed that out to me, thank you.
I appreciate your comments on this and any other subject for that matter.
Enjoy the day !!
but it's only one to view the idea. Sodahead allows you to understand (hopefully) the way others view the same idea.
And, my reading comprehension is just fine thank you.
I agree, no more discussion
