Interesting title,
Then, sorry to say but the logline is… problematic.

p1 dialogue about phobia reads unnatural
better interweave that in a subtle way

"abuse by stepfather" probably is a bit of a cliché here to reason her character; done with a sledgehammer so to say… just my opinion of course
(especially the way it's presented, in your face like. Just give it a special, new delivery)
Also I don't believe that a psychiatrist would interrupt her patient.

Once you're in there, leaving the exposition behind, the story gets very intriguing, specifically when she's hearing her parents from back in the days. Really good.

Then it keeps pace and I like the change of setting and action.

The very last scene didn't do it for me. I think you see my critique on the build-up in the first act. Otherwise, it was a clear and mainly intriguing take. Last picture, last concept could be more, well, just more somehow, some way :-) Good job.

Hey writer,

Whoa, errrrrr, that was dark, bloody dark.

You obviously know how to write, there's no issue there. A few formatting qualms for me. Most notably, not sure about the PSYCHOTIC EPISODE, moment, you've got the extra pages, use them to describe it.

Inspite of this, you managed to paint a horrible, brutal picture very well. It's absolutely grim and just nasty in parts. Where I'm having difficulty is separating your talent from the contents of the tale, as I'm not a fan of the story at all, but I appreciate your ability and style.

I'm probably gonna have to say this was in the good writing category, but the story really wasn't for me,

I, wow this was crazy.  I think this writer must have some psychology knowledge because that is one, but controversial way to deal with sexual abuse.  

I got confused at the end and you should have used all the pages you were allotted for telling such a complex story.

Decent job
Dan
