"Consensual"? Eeeesshhhh! If you're reading this at breakfast, I apologize for the vomit on your keyboard. To borrow a punchline from Lewis Grizzard, "I don't believe I'd have told that." Or, to quote a fellow blogger, "And you couldn’t go to the grave with this secret?""On the eve of my wedding, my father showed up, determined to stop it," writes Phillips, who was 19 and a heavy drug user at the time. "I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad's bed."
"My father was not a man with boundaries. He was full of love, and he was sick with drugs. I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father."
"Had this happened before? I didn't know. All I can say is it was the first time I was aware of it."
Phillips' life began to spiral out of control. In 1980, she was fired from One Day at a Time because of her constant drug use. That same year, she went to rehab -- with her father. Her sexual relationship with him had become consensual.
Adding insult to
My father was filled with booze.
ReplyDeleteI was filled with drugs.
He was filled with love.
I was soon filled with my father.

He who controls the present controls the past.
I dare say Papa John was a little less full of love at the end of that night.

ReplyDeleteUgh. California Dreaming was one of my all-time favorite pop songs. I love playing it on the guitar. Now I'm afraid that this will always come to mind!
ReplyDeleteSide note: I think we all know how creepy to the tenth power this story is. But think about the perspective of the pro-LGBTQ lobby. Shouldn't they be noting how it was consensual, she was an adult, they were born that way, don't be so judgmental, blah blah blah?
I miss Lewis Grizzard. Thank you for quoting him.
