Nov 2017

A child of 7 is impressionable. If say someone in her family fed her information unknowingly or carelessly that can translate into a "real" memory for a child. And considering how volatile the household was with high emotion that can make a dent in the psyche.

The psychologists didn't believe she was molested. I began wondering if someone else had molested her and she transferred it onto Allen but I still doubt that because of the different stories she gave and the therapists assertions.

She believes it happened and I have deep sadness about that for her and for her siblings that believe it. If something more solid were to come of this I would gladly change my mind but I do think this was a horrible fiasco and a deeply confusing time for everyone in that family. It's really a tragedy either way.
