from personal experience it is not unusual for the victim to completely suppress the incident [i had a teacher attempt to molest me and a friend] i totally suppresed the details for about 15 years and i consider myself in touch and astute! it wasnt until i had seen a show on pbs about women who had suppressed their molestations and was then talking about it in the office the next day with a few others and then this other woman coming forward about what happened to her repeatedly with her step brother that THEN i remembered what happened to me and nothing acttually happened because me and my friend managed to escape.......it really blows your mind to realize just how deep these waters run and where they hide til you can actually cope as an adult.....

that's true, some kind of defense mechanism of our brain (which I believe is exactly what MKULTRA plays with) but doesn't it usually loses effectiveness when the abuse is repeated over a long period of time? The older you get? She was (iirc) a teenager when it happened. I just remembered that case because of how weird/atypical the case was at the time and with the army father i just wanted to revisit the article to make sure it isn't related to anything we have here.
