I have long thought that there should be an Al Anon type organization for families dealing with incest. It would run in conjunction with the mandatory filing of legal papers of any sexual abuse or incest memories and followed with the certified letter to the alleged pedophile or sexual predator to agree to a polygraph test for the sake of an end to child sexual abuse and the sake of your own families health and wellness.
I have written of many of my family tragedies here and the reactions and actions that were taken as a result of the family tragedies. When there was cancer scare there was immediate action to combat the cancer. When there was a stroke or heart attach there was immediate action with an Aspirin and very quick transportation to a hospital. Where there was a case of Alzheimer's there was the appropriate action to sustain a quality of life and a group of family and friend who gathered to sustain each other. When there was any trauma or any medical treatment that needed attention there was prompt and immediate attention.
When there was a memory of child sexual abuse and incest there was complete and total abandonment. There was a defining silence.
*I looked up "Family Loyalty" and this is what I found. From the following site. http://family.jrank.org/pages/554/Family-Loyalty-Conclusion.html
Family loyalty is defined primarily in two different ways: (1) as adherence to norms of filial obligation; and (2) as the level of intergenerational solidarity or closeness between the generations in a family. Both of these definitions have been studied within ethnocultural family contexts. Specifically, much of the research on filial obligation has focused on Asian and Asian immigrant families, while other investigations into the development and maintenance of familistic attitudes and behaviors—the foundation for solidarity—have been done with Hispanic immigrants.
One shortcoming of the literature on family loyalty is that it fails to incorporate broader definitions or measures; that is, the research continues to define and measure loyalty according to adult children's levels of filial obligation or as attitudinal or behavioral congruence or similarity between parents and children. Clearly, other intragenerational measures, such as the quality of children's relationship with siblings and the quality of husband-wife relationships, can be used to measure familism.
