<font color="green"> Hugs KimmyDawn, I have been in much the same position. I have always had some vague recollections of the show and tell games my godfather played with me when I was 3 or 4. Not until I had been in therapy with the same therapist for nearly 3 years did the memories come back.
It has taken about another year but I think I am mostly done recalling the big stuff. Hmm that statement still scares me spitless, but I do think it is true this time.
I think sometimes the adults believe they are protecting the child by not mentioning the incident ever again, there was an incident like that in my past. As I have gotten stronger I asked my mother about it and to my amazement the man went to jail. I was not his first or only victim but he had little opportunity to victimize other little girls for a good many years.
As I said I am coming out the other side of the journey you are embarking on and the past is not as brutal or omnipresent as it was just a few months ago. </font>
