Please be careful about accepting supposed memories that are supposedly repressed. Most repressed memories cannot be verified and so it is actually impossible to tell if they are real. There was a time, hopefully over, when therapists almost tried to induce repressed memories, many were later shown to be false, and lots of people and families were horribly destroyed. Many of my own symptoms are common in those with sexual abuse. But I KNOW this did not happen to me, and I'm not going to succumb to a false memory just because it would make sense.
Sorry I'm such a skeptic. I also think it is sometimes very good that we don't remember everything.
Thinking of you - take care.
