Sounds like it's time for Scott's brothers response, even more
interesting:

Repressed memories revisited
I am Scott Barak Abraham's brother. I started to write a long rebuttal
to his story in Backlash ("Repressed Memory Syndrome," The Backlash,
March 1995), but then I stopped. No matter what I say, some will
accept, some will not. But there is a thing that must be said. Scott
Barak Abraham was not, I repeat not, abused within our household. Since
this alleged abuse is one of the pivotal points of the article, I feel
it calls the validity of the whole article into question.

Mr. Abraham was a multiple substance abuser for over twenty years, I
have never used any drugs and haven't had a drink since I was 15 years
old, 27 years ago, and was never drunk even once. I bring this up not
for moral judgment, just for one point. Mr. Abraham poisoned his mind
and body for over twenty years with mind altering drugs and substances,
all of which have been scientifically proven to affect intelligence,
perception and memory.

Finally, as children, up to my 17th birthday Mr. Abraham molested me,
violently abused me almost daily, and to this day uses words of
derision and insult to attack and intimidate me. He denies this. If
nothing else, I remember him doing this, he denies it. He says both of
us were victims of multiple abusers, and I deny that with absolutely no
hesitation or reservation. Since the article says False Memory Syndrome
doesn't exist, he is quite wrong, as apparently one of us is the victim
of said syndrome.

A last thought. Mr. Abraham's behavior is nothing new, it hasn't
changed ever. He threatened and intimidated when he was six, he
threatened and intimidated when he was 15, he threatened and
intimidated when he was 25, he threatens and intimidates when he is 43.

I do not use my name at the request of the publisher.

Editor: Scott changed his name, so he and his brother no longer
share the same last name.
