You are a very negligent father. Seems like you failed to get her the much needed help to deal with her phobia and irrational fears. There are lots of self-help strategies and therapeutic approaches that can help her break free from her phobia and she can start living the life she wants. Perhaps you could write to Dr. Phil for help.
