Hi ~ I'm sorry some of your memories are shocking to you. But like "Emotionally" said, I'm sure your Mom didn't do it to hurt you. She was trying to keep you safe. Bless her heart, she knew what she was capable of doing, so she thought you two would be better off asleep.  She must have been tormented.
I occasionally have memories pop up from childhood, but they don't surprise me.  I don't think ANYTHING would surprise me ~ both my parents were alcoholics, and they'd get into the worst fights!  All us kids would be cowering in our rooms, hoping they'd stop soon before someone got REALLY hurt.  That takes up the majority of my childhood memories. I don't remember much else.
If you're not in therapy, perhaps it would be a good idea to talk to a therapist about this. I was in therapy off & on most of my adult life, and it did me a world of good. I've since "graduated." LOL I wish you the best of luck. God bless. Hugs, Lee
