Repress memories
I just turned 19 yesterday, but I've already attempted suicide twice. Three years ago, I accidentally got my half sister pregnant. As a result, she got an abortion and we convinced our parents she was raped. The investigation led to the arrest of some old guy in the area after she gave the detective a very obscure description of the "rapist", but I never spoke up about it. Fast forward to the present, I've only ever told two people about the situation--my pastor and my best friend. Anyway, my therapist says that the best way to move on in my life is by forgetting (repressing) the entire event and pretending it never happened. Save my wild life story, is it normal to repress memories?
