Back in the 1980's it seemed common for women to "realize" (thanks to their therapists) that their fathers had sexually abused them. Turns out most of this was bosh, but it did a lot of damage.

Yes - one of my acquaintances back then broke off all relations with her entire family after her therapist convinced her that all her problems were caused by unremembered incest committed by her father. Since the other members of her family insisted it had never happened, obviously they were complicit.

There is a woman in my neighborhood who claims she was molested by our parish priest as a young girl. Everyone in her family knows this not to be the case and everyone associated with the parish knows this not to be the case, primarily because the priest she accuses is / was a nonpracticing homosexual. The reason I bring this up is the absolute rock star status she has gained within her new Hallelujha-Amen storefront church as a result of her allegations. Too many are more than willing to believe the worst about the best.
