Hi @curiousaboutsomethi - welcome to MSF. I am sorry you have such painful images of childhood. It must be rough carrying that around.

I do not know how to tell what really happened when I was a child. I think a therapist has helped me deal with my childhood recollections that often are unclear to me exactly what they were. The point I finally came to was to let go of trying to figure out if what I felt happened actually did. I found that how could I cope with the situation was more productive for me and I could move on from the uncertainty and go with the ways that I can cope with life and feelings and let go of what only gives me pain and suffering by bringing up. That does not mean I condone things that happened or may have happened to me that were probably inappropriate, but that is getting long ago the older I get. It is almost like another person. I am so different now than I was then.

Hope you get the support you are looking for. @CANDC
