I'm sorry for your situation early in life, but that stat is just BS.

What makes you say that? The reason I'm asking is most of the incest/molestation survivors I know, few if any have faced their molestor. So the 'diminished' capacity of a child doesn't play when you're dealing with a 45 y/o Ex Navy Seal who is just now admitting to being molested by the adults in his family. I've discovered that most keep it to themselves or 'in the family'. But all have the scars and the problems to deal with.

When I was younger, I would have agreed with you. But now, I can say those numbers sound, 1 in 3, sound about right. In my circle of friends and family, its on the money.

The stat that was originally posted was 2 in 3, not 1 in 3. In any event, 1 in 3 is still an unsupportable high number.

Sorry for the circle in which you grew up, but I too, believe that number to be hocum.
