Yes! I remember trying to convince myself that none of what I remembered was true. But then a family member did (abusive thing) twice in the space of a few days & I couldn't deny what was happening - I was 22 at the time.
A few years later, after I ran away from my family, I asked a specialist if my memories could be false - she shook her head sadly & said: "Far too many details, and what you say doesnn't change." It was so depressing when she said that. I still sometimes wish, 25 years on, that it was fake, but it's not. Memories still come back til this day - very early ones. But I'm glad I was convinced enough when they first started resurfacing, to get out & run away.
