I used to have letters where she admitted to trying to kill us but in a fit of forgiveness, I threw them out . my sister's dad witnessed some if the abuse and he is still alive.our mom was locked up a couple years ago for trying to kill her present husband. Then my brother was shot and killed when he was alone with her, but the sheriff's deputy said it may well have been her that pulled the trigger, but because no one did a gunpowder test there is no proof and she'll also get a 200k life insurance policy.
My sister had the same SA and drugging happen to her. So I definitely don't have false or psuedo memories. It's bad enough we experienced that hell and keep reliving it, but to have some scholar compare our memories of abuse to memories of alien abductions? I guess i'll just have to remember the words of a great man who said, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do."

I'm sorry for what you went through with your mother and I'm sorry that you read that article and it made you so angry. I can certainly understand why it would make you angry. I'm sure it made you feel invalidated and that's never a good thing.
This is a big world likewater, there are going to be those out there that don't agree with us or see things as others see things. It's just one of those things that not everyone is going to be on the same page about, no matter what anyone does to try to change their minds.
You, in yourself, know exactly what you have been through and what your dx is. You can validate yourself! If you have loved ones who believe, a T that believes and good friends that believes, then does it really matter what the writer of that article believes? In the grand scheme of things....who the hell cares what they believe as long as you know and are getting support and are living the best way you can....that's all that really matters isn't it?
I validate you likewater.
