On an episode of Dr. Phil's he brought a girl who spoke about being sexually molested by her step dad for years and years while she kept complaining to her mother who appears to not have cared enough about the complaints coming from her daughter. I think the showing of denouncement for the mother's actions was not even close to what it should have. There are others who spend years in prison for one action of what was allowed to continue for years here on a child dependent on his parent protection. If I was the host I probably would have brought a water hose and washed the chair that mother sat on after she leaves.
I think that helping that girl to be financially independent and capable of living away from her mother was the good path to follow.
The host spoke about forgiveness. But how can forgiveness work on someone who does not admit his guilt or at least state that he would change the path of action he took if the situation repeats itself? Nevertheless I don't think that is the biggest hurdle against forgiveness here.
I think that probably neither the host nor the girl herself had an idea about very important and essential reason for why she came to the show. That reason in my view was that the girl herself despite her complaining has an internal conflict related to how she should understand the intentions of her mother and came to the show to resolve that for here. Even her screaming on her mother probably fits better as being coming from someone trying to reach an understanding to something than that of reacting based on an understanding he already had. So, how can forgiveness precede realization of the guilt?
Why would that girl find difficulty in how to understand the actions of her mother despite the clearly outrageous things the mother allowed to happen to her? I think that if you know enough about the psychotic way with which some fight reality and assume a convincing character contrary to their evil actions you wouldn't wonder much about that. There were even two examples related to that in the same show. The first one gave a hint about the skill in doing that and was shown in how the mother succeeded in using the financial excuse to get softer reaction from the host. The other one seems to show the level of contrast in the characters they assume when the step father from his prison started talking about a psychological help they were advising the girl to take.
