Snap,

Hi, yes I've had repressed memories that came back. Sometimes I've had "quirks" or behaviors that I felt were kind of weird and eventually something would come up into my mind connected to it. It was sort of good to understand myself better and sort of bad because it was connected with something bad that happened to me.

A lot of bad things happened to me as a child and I had NO power to protect or help myself. I had to survive life in unsafe places - including an unsafe family. The only way for me to do this was to put certain memories and feelings someplace besides my regular memory. I feel that is a blessing from God because I had no help and no trusted person who would have protected me, I was alone - on my own is what I mean. Reality is that I lived with spiritual, physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, ongoing abuse. So, anything that was a help to me to get through those awful years was something I'm now thankful for.

I hope you can get any help or healing you need. Memory comes back when you are able to bear it - as best I know. I hope things get better too.

Hugs,

Leslie
