It took a lot of courage for MacKenzie Phillips to tell her story, and it has not been without cost -- even the members of her own family are publicly divided in how they have responded to it. Some have been very supportive of her; others have attacked Phillips' own reputation in order to tarnish her story.
So I am sure that Phillips herself would be heartened to know that going public with her story has helped other victims of incest face their own. She said that she had been imprisoned by her secret for too long. I am sure that resonated deeply for anyone who has been in the same situation.
If you have been a victim of incest, you MUST know that you are the victim here, you are not responsible for what happened. No child bears the responsibility for the inexcusable actions of an adult who is supposed to protect them. People at the website and phone number Susan gave you understand what you are going through. Be brave, and give them a chance to help.
