Bethanna,

Your post describes a lot of dissociative symptoms. When you don't remember things- like the entire drive home, or chunks of the therapy session, this is because you have dissociated them away. Dissociation is a way of coping. You may have used it in dealing with whatever happened with your first husband as well.

I STRONGLY encourage you to tell your therapist about these things. In fact, I suggest you print off this post and hand it to her.

You are not weird for having these issues with your memory, and you probably won't be the first person your therapist has seen that has had that issue.

Tell me- if I remember right, you had a history of abuse, right?
