A member asked:
If someone is sexually abused by an uncle is that still considered to be incest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult to say: The word incest has a negative connotation mostly dealing with something a person has no power over and something which cannot be changed. I am afraid that a person could become stereotyped by labels and that they are of little value in the long run. A person needs to know that what happened to them as a child, they had no control over and should not blame themselves.
