Hi PinkPearl, I am sorry you are having these intrusive memories come forward like this.
It does sound like you were stressed and your sense of safety was compromised and you did not get validated and protected as you had deserved.
Often these experiences don't come forward like this until a person gets older and can better process them, has more capacity and life experience to finally sort these troubling challenges out. You need not feel guilty or wrong for having these memories either, a lot of people at one point or another will get older and refect on their past and try to make peace with some of the life challenges they had, nothing to be ashamed of. Don't worry about over reacting either, you remember what you remember, and what is more important is just working through it, mourning whatever you feel you lost because of it, and finally just storing it and accepting that you managed to move forward in spite of it.
((Caring Hugs))
