It is also quite possible that there was no real abuse, and that this is why the other party does not seem affected by it.

When we see what is counted as abuse, which often includes reinterpretation of events after the fact based on the presumption that youthful sex play is always abuse, it is quite easy for a divergence of opinions to develop: one person remembers things as they really were, the other begins to see events from a skewed perspective, as they are encouraged to do so by society. Recent developments in understanding human memory have demonstrated that our memories are, in fact, quite faulty, and can be made worse by interference after the fact.

The poor quality of advice that was given is likely to produce even more faulty memories, introduce tension into a formerly good friendship, and probably break up this relationship while causing psychological distress to the person seeking advice.
