	Hey Chris, One thing I've learned about other's comments on information such as you've posted............it can be weird. 1.  "Well, IF it happened as you've said.........."  I believe the IF is there to distance themselves from totally accepting (perhaps they can't yet or never will) what is being told to them. 2.  "Just forget about it."  Usually well meaning - but has no application. 3.  Your elder's comment - idioctic & totally dismissive of another's pain.  I never met an elder like that - but sure people exist like that. 4.  "Repressed memory?  You know they don't exist, don't you?"   lol - but what does one DO with all those pesky, truly horrible memories?  And all the friggin' triggers & aftermath?  Guess they don't exist either?  Yeah...right. 5.  And the people who will actually talk with you - as your grandmothers did.  Valuable. You've done marvelously with your working through all this.  Thank you so much for posting a portion - it helps so many others.  Others who have been abused, or others who haven't - so they have an inkling of what it's like. waiting
