I dont remember much before the age of 12. We tend to block out memories of abuse because they are painful and difficult to cope with. This is typically what people are referring to when talking about repressed memories. A few years ago, in my mid forties, many memories came back to me in the form of flashbacks. It was very distressing and led to a nervous breakdown.
