Do you believe that it is abnormal for someone to not really remember much about their childhood? I have a few VERY scattered memories from when I was 4-11, and then from 12 on it is more reliable. I probably have a handful of memories from my younger years. I attribute this to me just having a crappy memory, but my therapist seems to think there is more to it than that. I told her today that I just think my memory sucks, and life was fine...and she goes "I think the memories are there, just buried deep and not accessible to you" But I don't know if I believe that, because why would they be so deep, when I generally think I had a decent childhood?
