Repressed-Recovered Memories

What do you say to someone who can recite a conversation, word-for-word, from a repressed memory? Who do you believe, the alcoholic or the child? How do you explain the memory; as a lie your mind has created and convinced itself to believe?

I take great offense to those who deny the repressed-recovered memories theory. How can you say a memory was invented when one can go into detail about it, and still be so affected by it?
