if you were here in my location no this would not be dissociation. even normal people forget things sometimes. forgetting who your children or family is here in my location is called Alzheimer's (a physical health condition that causes people to forget who they are, forget where they are going, what they are doing and people in their lives.)

short version with dissociative disorders reality testing remains intact. what that means is people who dissociate dont lose touch with things like who their family is.

that said there is a type of dissociation that includes amnesia symptoms but its not localized to a persons children or family. its localized to the trauma. if a person with this forgets who their children are they also forget everything related to their children and the trauma.

an example would be having a child and not recognize them, not recognize the childs teachers, school, bedroom, toys, childs clothing, not remembering the trauma that caused the amnesia, short version they would be living as if their child, childs things, childs bedroom everything does not exist.

another example a person with dissociative amnesia wouldnt be asking about forgetting their child because they would not be aware that their child exists. kind of a catch 22 you cant write about something you dont know exists. the memory problems with Dissociation are a very special kind.

you have posted before about your child so that right there says you can relax you dont have dissociative amnesia.

but if you are concerned about this my suggestion is talk with your treatment providers. they can explain to you why sometimes you remember your child (evidenced by your past posts about your child) and why sometimes you dont remember your child. the solution may be as simple as adjusting your schizophrenia medications. (medications can cause this kind of thing to happen)
