Well... I'm an older person. So that's part of my problem I suppose. But I don't think I've ever, as an adult, had much of any memories of my childhood prior to the age of about 8. There are a few. And a couple of them I can be reasonably sure actually happened because my parents weren't present.

I was an only child. And my parents liked to tell me stories about things that happened when I was still very young. So, in many cases, with regard to the few memories I do have, I can't be sure if I actually remember them or if I remember them because my parents told me about them years later. Most of what I believe I do remember is traumatic or at least confusing. Although I was an outwardly pretty normal acting kid, I became a master of hiding my twisted nature at an early age.

One thing I have learned though, as a result of reading about research that has been done regarding how our brains work, is that memories are much less reliable than we would typically like to imagine. I don't see a therapist.
