I'm 19 years old. I grew up with an abusive mother in many schools and many houses. I have had a lot of mental/emotional/sexual trauma in my life but I do remember good things as well. But I can't remember how old I was for anything that has happened to me, good or bad. It is like a huge locked door I don't have a key to and it frustrates and worries me. My memory is all blurry with ages.

    It's normal given your history.

    Your brain is defending you from the abuse of your past.

    It's best you don't remember the bad stuff. But the good stuff..that sucks.

    I'm the same way. It's like the memories don't have a date code to them. The only way I know when anything happened is by associating it with people that I only knew at one point in time.
