I too have fragmented memories and also multiple abusers. I am not sure what happened to me, either, but I have learned to trust it. I know it's extremely disturbing. I am glad you spoke out and shared about it. it can be really hard when you don't remember it clearly. You begin to wonder if you are just "nuts". But I don't think we are. I trust my memories (meaning fragmented, distorted, unclear impressions, not photographic, clear ones) I trust how I feel. I know something happened. To both of us. Once, onne therapist asked me, "Carol how did you feel?" and I was able to tell her, "Sick, weird, icky!" and she believed me. It didn't seem to even matter what I remembered. All I knew was that it felt horrible. And that was *real*.
thanks,
Carol
