I'm 55. I liken my memories to the bullied child on the playground surrounded by a group of bullies who are taunting her. I've always had these memories, I've always had the fragmented memories, but since my daughter's first hospitalization, many of these memories haunt me, taunt me daily. Sometimes all of them. Prior to that, occasionally they would pop up maybe monthly, but now, it's daily.
