Some people never remember everything - again, for self-protection.

NO I don't have a therapist; I can't bear the thought of talking about what happened in person. My husband wants me too and we have great insurance but I just have not been able to make that call. He does know that it was bad for me and my siblings as a child but he does not know how bad.
I go through phases from perfectly fine in what I call my "normal" phase, to being very distant to being depressed then into what I call a "panic" phase. I never know what my day will bring and its driving me nuts! Thanks for listening, Cat
