You are so right about the consequences of memory recovery. Shared contexts like yours have helped me over the years come to terms with the fact that my memories are in fact not recovered (by which I mean 'recovered' in the problematic use of the word you're describing). I've been torn about whether or not "I made it up" for my entire life. The weird popular trend of "recovered memory therapy" is/was real, and indeed muddies the waters. Your litmus test resonates with me. I hope you read this and know you've helped at least one person. I'm sorry you went through what you did.
