Hi BlueStar,
I'm wondering if you are in therapy right now. A good T would be able to help you figure out what is going on. Many times people repress memories of abuse and it doesn't manifest until we are adults. I believe that it happens this way because our brains have grown and matured and we are in a better place to be able to deal with those memories than when we were a child.
Wishing you well ((((((((BlueStar)))))))))))
