My earliest "true memories" are from my teenage yrs. I do not share consciousness with any of the childhood parts.. nor would I think I would care to. The only memories I have of our childhood are from family stories linked with pictures and/or occasions. These types of "false memories" once learned become part of our collective knowledge pool. Something that helps use with timeline consistencies. I suppose this is a system function that evolved for our overall protection?
