Our paper presents the results of a research study following the victims of incest undertaken in France. The main aim was to better understand the victims assuming a responsive becoming, in particular in concerning their relating to their own parenting. The results point to the inference that the determining factor in their becoming was their encounter with a significant other who proved to have an influential and formative sway as far as the victims ability to surmount their psychological wounds.While some professional and/or institutional aid is said to have augmented at times their suffering, it was really the attendance and significant role of a transitional adult, an authentic resilience-tutor figure, who is often invoked as the seminal influence in their process of psychological remedial. These results confirm the conclusion that it is favourable to provide for a caring significant other beyond the legal dictates, in order to allow them to reclaim their worth through a humane interaction. The significant other is presumed to be a person who listens well, with no interruptions, expressions of shock or judgmental remarks.
