Jules, I too was baffled as to why AG brought up this 'false memories' stuff. I can understand how that must make you feel. It was a little insensitive to say the least. Although she has clarified what she meant I don't think it has any relevance to Family cases of child abuse. As far as reconciliation goes, my children who were abused by a non Family perp and went through counselling, court etc were never advised to seek reconciliation or try to forgive their abuser and if you suggested it to them I think you'd better duck. I feel totally comfortable with never considering forgiving the arsehole who took their innocence and even though we have exhausted all legal avenues to obtain justice if I ever saw him again I think he'd better start running. Like you said when people start rewriting history extreme measures are necessary to start getting back to the truth of what really happened. You kids have the right to do whatever it takes. The Family are so slippery and good at not taking responsibility for their crimes extreme measures may be the only way to make people sit up and listen. Keep up your wonderful work Jules. Here's one FGA that totally supports you.
