I'd be pretty care with this kind of stuff. There is a belief that some people cut in reaction to trauma/abuse, which *can* happen, but that doesn't meant it *did* happen. Sometimes people make the jump, and they may be led to 'mis-remember' memories. Memory repression is a very dicey thing, and not well understood. Being able to properly navigate this stuff requires an expert, and even then it isn't ideal.
