i had images replay themselves over and over while i was growing up, and i thought that i made them up and that was certifiably insane. when i finally told in therapy when i was 21, i found out that they could be real memories. and my family had clues that backed up those memories, although they didn't know what was wrong in my situation, since noticing clues of abuse was not available at that time. they knew something was going on because of my behavioral clues and physical symptoms. at first, i questioned my therapist over and over so many times, what if the memories are not real, but false memories? i still wonder to this day, though, despite the clues that my family had that coincided to the events. i just didn't want to implicate an innocent man if my memories were truly false.
