This thread is for people to determine what is true. I'm not giving answers - I want to generate discussion.

So, for starters

Sexual abuse is a women's problem
 
Family 'secrets' like incest will simply be passed on from generation to generation, unless they are finally faced openly and dealt with.
 
Only bad people get raped or abused.
Yes, this is such a dreadful myth. I know I believed it for me. I never thought other victims were bad, but I really thought I was. it is weird how the brain makes such rotten sense of stuff like this.
 
If you did not resist it cannot be rape or abuse

This is something I have been struggling with lately.

It was just easier to go with the flow and get it over with. I didn't try to stop him and I didn't fight. Therefore, I can't help but feel I deserved it sometimes.
