Is it normal that i dont remember anything before age 10?

Freud would say that you've "repressed" it.

I would say that every lie needs a guiding truth for it to exist. And that you've possibly repressed something.

Amnesia? Or maybe your brain is trying to protect you from bad memories?

Well,I am glad I'm not the only one and that you posted this. I forgot most of my childhood before age 10 and even much older. Any memories that I do have are bits and pieces. I even forgot at age 9 my mom remarrying my father for a rededication of vows. Who forgets this? My parents fought a lot and my mom was screaming a lot in my life that I do remember. Perhaps, too painful to remember my childhood. Sad part is the things I do remember are not pleasant. Forgot most of the good. I remember 10 and up for most part, but even have friends I knew in High School bring up stuff and I forgot a lot of High School. I figure if I forgot it there must be a reason it's blocked and don't know that I want to do anything to unblock it.I do wonder sometimes, but learned to live with it.

It's strange because I rembember being 2 years old.

Could be either you're repressing bad memories, or good ones. Maybe you were happier before the divorce, and it's easier not to face it. Either way, I agree with the therapy suggestion, because repression isn't healthy, and may have other consequences, such as nightmares.

I can't remember anything from 10 back either. :o But I know for a fact my brain is suppressing the memories, because I remember VERY small tiny fragments of my parents fighting, my Dad getting arrested, etc.

Very weird. I can remember as far back as 3 years old or so.

You didn't have electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) did you? One of the drawbacks is that it wipes out your memories.

My brother seems to remember all kinds of minutiae from when we were young, but I remember educational stuff better, like history, geography, etc. I think he reviews his personal history more than I do.

Your priorities as to what's important to remember may be more like mine.

Try doing hipnotherapy. Repressing memories can be hurtfuk for you

There are many things from my childhood that my mind has gone blank on. The decade I was born in and some of my slightly older years. Perhaps, something traumatic happened to you and your brain blocked out the memories? Hypnotism might be able to uncover what ever it is that was blocked.

Not terribly normal, but I don't know that I would jump headfirst into the conclusion so many others are, that there was some horrific molestation or something that occurred. It sounds like there was trouble at home (your own comments about your sister's memories), so maybe you did block out large uncomfortable swaths of time. You can't even remember any birthdays or holidays when somebody is relating them to you?

I'm sure it doesn't help, but I have almost no memory of most of middle school or college (no, I was not wasted the whole time). Neither were particularly fun times in my life. And I can't remember what I did last Tuesday, either.

I really only just remember places. But not events or situations at places. Its a strange thing I think. I havr a hard time trying to comprehend. I askes my sister a little bit more and she said my parents faught allll the time. I don't remember them fighting until after they were separated.

Could you have been molested as a child?

i had that with one year of school, grade 4 , i cant remember one day of it, maybe i was absent the whole year

I'm not so sure about the trauma effect. Do you remember anything at all from your childhood before then? Also, if you look at pictures from around that time period, do they bring anything back?

Maybe something really bad happened and your brain is keeping you safe from harm.

yeah it sounds like it was so tragic your brain was like "fuck this, disassociation time". it happens to kids a lot. they simply block out all the things that make them really sad.
