Re: Reporting sex offenses as an adult survivor

This respondent makes two common errors:
1. blatantly misreading what I clearly wrote;
2. generalizing to an entire population from 1 case (her son's).
I will simply quote verbatim from my last post:

While the consequences of adult-child sexual interactions are FREQUENTLY DEVASTATING to the child, such experiences, according to DOZENS of peer-reviewed studies, are often of NO serious damage. This is something we should celebrate--that people are that resilient.

As professionals, I believe we have an affirmative obligation to challenge misunderstanding and distortion of important mental health facts, even when it makes others uncomfortable.
