Trina was a precocious teenager, who thought her step father was attractive. Her mother was strict and didn't want her dating. One day when frustrated and angry at her Mom, Trina acted out and flirted with her "Dad." She expected him to tell her that she'd been inappropriate, and some day she would meet someone her own age to love. He didn't. Much to her surprise, he began to spend more time at home when her Mother was at work. Dad said he didn't want her to be ashamed of what had happened, that it was perfectly natural, but her Mother probably wouldn't understand. Trina promised not to tell, because her mother didn't understand anything that Trina did.
Trina had a crush on her Dad for several months and felt jealous when he showed affection toward her Mother, but what could she say or do? So she turned her attention towards Lenny, a boy her own age at school. When her mother wouldn't let her go out with Lenny, Trina couldn't suppress the anger she felt. She told her mother that she had been kissing and fondling her Dad for months, so why should going out with Lenny should be such a big deal? Her mother was shocked and threatened to have Trina's Dad thrown in prison.
Trina didn't want that to happen. So she told her Mom that she was just acting out in anger, and she was never really involved with her Dad. Trina's Dad began to intervene on Trina's behalf and encouraged Trina's Mother to let her date. But he kept finding opportunities to spend time alone with Trina, too.
Trina didn't want to be alone with her Dad any more, but she endured it because she didn't want her mother to send him to prison.
Trina is twenty five years old now. She lives alone and thinks the penalty for molesting children is too harsh. If she hadn't been worried about her mother sending her father to prison, her whole family could have gotten some counseling, she explains. She would have seen to it. But the punishment didn't seem to fit the crime, and she wasn't willing to press the issue. She became her step Dad's mistress instead.
