Yup. I remembered as an adult being molested when I was 11. I guess when I was 11, I didn't really recognize what it was. Years later it came back to me, and I knew it happened.
It sounds like you had a pretty rough childhood overall. It makes sense that there was something there that you didn't want to remember. Most cases I have heard of when someone had memory gaps and couldn't remember much of childhood, there was abuse. Some people with gaps like that may think that it is normal not to be able to remember their childhood.
You will need to deal with those memories as they come back up. There are some good therapists out there with experience in trauma work. They can help you a lot.
