You must have recovered some memories. Sorry for your trauma. There is a reason those memories are buried.

A little off the subject, but I was watching a Steve Wilcos show yesterday that was chock full of really twisted family dysfunction. I find much of that crap exploitive of the victim. But I watched.
The woman is 20 something and her dad is having intimate relations with her. The mom had abandoned and exploited her, too but was trying to talk her away from her abuser. The 'girl' was so brainwashed she didn't see anything wrong in sleeping with her father. She continued to blame her mom for her problems. She steadfastly insisted she wanted to be with her father, no matter what. I felt so sorry for her.
