(5,946 posts)MY COUSIN is my example, and she has recovered memory that ruined her life and are not real. I don't know the Farrows I don't know the Allens so I don't know what happened. I am not a professional and don't claim to be one, although some of the people who claim to be are not in reality (Laura Ingraham). People say things that are true in their mind, they just are not facts, I used my cousin as an example, You do know what an example is. I am tired of the whole questioning me about this family problem.
What happened in Dylan's case, although I understand she uses another name now, may be true or it may be remembered after talking to her distraught mother for a period of time. We don't know
I know crazy from people who married into my immediate family like the SIL who got a restraining order against me although I never came to her house unless invited and I never touched anyone there, except to hug them hello and good bye, just one day she said I was dangerous and she got a restraining order against me and my 83 year old mother. I got it dropped and off the record but that is another story, anyway, I know that some people believe that stuff they say is true even if it is not. Sometimes they are manipulated into beliefs - like my cousin, and sometimes they get there on their own, like my SIL.
Do I believe most people are telling the factual truth, yes, I would never reject someone who complains of abuse. Every one should be investigated. People should be questioned. Even years later.
Do I think Dylan may be wrong, only because of that stupid video her mother released questioning her on film , edited film. I was just very odd. But them that might mean nothing.
