That’s not how sexual abuse trauma works.
I am not at all clear as to the age AOC claims to have been at the time of the trauma she says she experienced. Not much of anything AOC says is very clear.
Would you toss out the claim of a seven year old because her memories of being sexually molested at age four are a bit sketchy?
Victims who were traumatized early in life may even have been pre-verbal? Does that make their trauma less real?
It’s actually worse. The younger child has an even greater struggle to make sense of an experience that has completely overwhelmed her coping abilities.
It’s typically a combination of the victim’s memories AND current symptom picture that tells the story. There are behaviors that can be observed by a skilled trauma therapist without retraumatizing a child victim.
Asserting that not fully recalling facts around early abuse is a terrible reason to disbelieve a victim and can do profound damage.
As for AOC, there is nowhere near enough info from which to draw any conclusions.
She does come off a bit histrionic, but that can be a chicken vs egg issue.
To observe a genuine victim of sexual abuse whose behavior and background are quite consistent with the history that she relates, I invite you to watch an interview with Tara Reade.
What do you mean that is not how it works?
I think she should have to define it
I dont believe anything she says. Something is wrong with her...maybe she has NPD...
Or maybe she was molested as a child and that accounts for all her traumatic fakeness
whatever the case...if she is going to come forward to use it as an excuse and make the claim she should define it.
Many years ago I was deeply in love with a woman who was sexually abused at the age of 11. The hurt and anger this beautiful woman endured was painful to watch.
Trust me, this stupid little bitch never had a hand laid on her as a kid.
