Yikes, Ard, thanks for that. I have to say, though, in what I've read of abuse in families, that quite often only one child is singled out for the abuse. Also, I know from comparing notes with a couple of my siblings, that each has their own very specific memories of childhood and they don't always agree in the details.:-) Sometimes it sounds as though they were raised in a completely different family than I was!
