WHO IS AFFECTED BY FMS?
Like a pebble dropped into a pond, an accusation has a ripple effect on the entire family: the accuser, the accused, and the non-accused. Parents, brothers, sisters, grandchildren, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends may all be affected. When we studied six extended families, we found that between 42 and 90 lives were touched by the accusation of one person. As part of an ongoing effort to understand the FMS phenomenon, we have collected demographic information from affected families.
