1) No, you don't have to remember ever since it happened. We didn't, I remembered the physical and emotional abuse for the most part, but not the sexual abuse at all, it was completely blocked off from me.
2) Yes, it took 10 years for me to remember.
3) Repressed memories exist.
I think some people lie, but also if you spontaneously recover memories on your own, they're more likely to be the truth (I think?).
