WW, you're not making it up. Maybe your siblings remember things differently than you do, and maybe they choose to remember things in such a way that they can stand to live with it. Memory does distort - it just works that way. Your memory might have some disortions too. I'm pretty sure that all of us remember things the way we need to. That's okay, and it doesn't make you wrong or bad or untruthful or any of those things. The fact is, your perception is your reality. You would not just choose to remember the things that you do if you had more pleasant, easier to tolerate memories that you could replace it with. Wouldn't it be nice if we could do that? Maybe some people can, like your siblings. But you didn't make this stuff up. Why would anyone do that? Some are more able or willing to deal with reality than others are. And one of the worst things people do to children (or adults - especialy grown-up children of abuse) is to tell them that their perception isn't right. Then they can't make sense of their own feelings. It's what you know and what you feel and what you remember and what you see, and it's real. I'm sorry that it was like that for you.

Love and peace and safety to you.
