[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 390933, member: 1550"] On some level, he probably does remember. And if you don't deal with it now, it WILL come back to him as an adult and could seriously ruin his life. My friend was sexually abused, but she forgot it then it came back when she was in her 20's and almost destroyed her. She had flashbacks and didn't know what was real and what wasn't real and I went through the whole thing with her. She was better after she knew. We adopted a boy who sexually abused my two younger kids (he is long gone now). On the advice of our therapist I am dealing with it as memories pop up, but have no intention of never telling them. That's not only dishonest, but it's something they need to know to move on. It could be why he is still having problems. easy child could have issues one day too. It is rare to never remember. Usually when sex becomes an issue, there are memories. Better early than late. The therapist however in my opinion should not have said anything without telling you first. I've been there and will be there again. This isn't over, but I wanted to offer my empathy in a very hard situation. [/QUOTE]
