Thank you for your helpful comment. I know it will help others. Shirley

“Incest is an act of power against a child that takes a sexual form. It is the violation and betrayal of the sexual innocence of a child. We define incest to include:
Suggestive or seductive talk or behavior directed at a child
Any unwanted, invasive touching, including kissing, wrestling & tickling
Non-medical enemas
Showing a child pornography or nudity
Sexual fondling, oral sex, sodomy and/or intercourse
Incest survivors come from both sexes, all economic and social backgrounds, races, religions, nationalities, and sexual orientations. It is not uncommon for incest survivors to wonder if the experience really happened or if they imagined it. What is important for you to realize is that children DO NOT, on their own, imagine situations of sexual arousal or violation. That information is not within a child’s realm of knowledge. As an adult, if you think something happened, it probably did. The truth is shown by the emotions you feel as you try to remember.
The emphasis of incest recovery is on understanding the violation of trust we experienced at the hands of those who were supposed to be our protectors. Incest perpetrators may have been our parents, older siblings, other family members, family friends, neighbors, and baby-sitters, members of the clergy, teachers, doctors or others in a position of authority over us as children…”

You would also be helping survivors to mention both SIA and ASCA (Adult Survivors of Child Abuse).

Thank you.
