I'm fortunate to not have been sexually abused by a family member or anyone for that matter. I can imagine how much more painful hearing this podcast would be for those who truly have been sexually abused. Their story may be questioned and scrutanized more since this phenomenon. Resources are spread thin to include "repressed memory of sexual abuse victims." How harmful this whole thing turned out to be. And, the daycare sexual abuse hysteria.
