Hello VanGore: I've often read that memories are not all that reliable. I'm gettin' on in years now. My parents are both gone, as is all of the rest of the extended family I grew up with. Plus I was an only child.

At this point in my life, I don't have a lot of memories left of my life as a young person. I do have a few. Some of them are troublesome. But there's no one left to talk with about any of them. I sometimes wonder if some of them actually even happened... or if they happened the way I remember them now. The fact is I'll never know.

I think you're correct. Disturbing memories can be a can or worms. I guess only you know if this is one you want to open. On the other hand, keeping something like this bottled up probably isn't helpful either. Anyway, however you choose to proceed, if you do at all, I wish you well...
