Ok, I won't get into my full story just yet I haven't hit that point where I can openly talk about what happend to me as a child, but I was sexually abused by family members never full on raped (intercourse) to my knowledge. However some of the things I remember I would do as a child I think I could not have learned these things on my own. So my question would be is it possible for me to have certain aspects of abuse that I do not remember while I remember others like it was yesterday? This has been bugging me for a while and I just want to know if there are others who feel like this?

Yes, it's pretty common to only have some of the pieces. There's a lot I know I still don't remember about what happened to me. I've had to come to terms with the fact that those memories may never come back and I may never know for sure exactly what happened, but what I can do is deal with what I do remember and the symptoms I have.

Girl (girl?), I was in the same boat. I'm still figuring it out, but I think it's real

EDIT: hence my name. ??memories?? were the whole reason I initially got this account

Yes, I am a woman... and if you were given the opportunity to remember would you want to or figure they might do more harm then good?

Remember as in the details? No. I don't want to know if I was raped or if something truly disgusting happened. But it would be nice to know 100% yes, something happened, and my feelings are valid rather than just doubting myself all the time.

Essentially, though, it would be best if this whole situation never came about. I would like that best
