Address the DNA testing results in post 13.
After you do that, go to AA or NA meetings for ten years or so and listen to how many broken people were persuaded as children by one parent or the other to bring false charges against their ex or their ex’s new squeeze.
Are false reports half of all reports, or even a quarter? No. But they are likely between an eighth and a fifth. Hardly uncommon.
At the same time, a quarter to a third of rapes are not reported.
The two phenomenon are not mutually exclusive.
I have been going to meetings for a lot longer than 10 years and your so called claim of ‘many’ broken children being persuaded to file false charges against a parent is just flat out false. First since it is after all anonymous anyone can say anything ( and they often do). Have folks in AA been abused....sure a lot of them. Have folks in AA had pretty standard childhoods? Sure a lot of them. SInce you give a non quantifiable example it is meaningless. Moreover the type of information that you describe seems to only be shared by some newbie who hasn’t been told that you don’t share a fifth step at meeting level. And beyond that you have no business sharing what happens in a closed meeting outside of a closed meeting. But that’s okay because you had a ‘pure’ reason for doing so. Check your own self.
You pull numbers out of your ear for no reason. My comments were directed to the article as written. It was about Edmunton Canada.
