Thank you - I would love to know more about this topic. I appreciate all of hte support from this forum as I discover "who" I am - almost all memories of my childhood before my mother was hospitalized (virtually from birth to age 12 or so) are gone. Those that I do remember are very frightening. My T is working with me to make sense of everything - and to reassure me that none of it is my fault. Thank you for supporting that. If you know of any data or personal anecdotes that I can access I would appreciate it. Thanks again!
