My niece, at around age 28, started confiding in me that her father (& my brother) had molested her since as far back as she could remember. She remembered this after entering counseling. I immediately believed her because he had molested me as a child and I never told. I felt so much guilt over what happened to her. After about a year or so of listening to her, and after she confronted her father, I decided to tell the rest of the family about what had happened to me as a child and she told them about what had happend to her.
Instead of believing us, some of my family calls us crazy and liars. The revelation of this was supposed to be cathartic for victims, but instead it has only added to my pain.
