My perspective is from someone that has always known what happened. I went through almost 50 years of my life carrying that knowledge alone. I envied the people that (to me ) were lucky because they could not remember. In some ways I still do. I also feel that there are also some people that use "just remembering" as an explanation or excuse for gaining enough strength to admit something happened even though they have always known about it. I also have thought about how devastating it must be for someone to remember something that the blocked out and how difficult that would be. My hope for them is that they would find a way to verify and or confirm facts before taking actions or as you say "make amends".
