^^ What an unfortunate situation... It is not the same in every family, but I think that Ashlee and Jessica's relationships with their father and personalities both fit the scenario that I described pretty well.
Another interesting thing was that in one of the videos we watched, the daughter who had been molested as a child (she was an adult at the time of filming) was STILL very protective of her stepfather and tried to deny that he actually ever intended to molest her. She felt that he had such great love for her that he just didn't know how to show it in an appropriate way. It was really bizarre.
