Forgive me if this is something I should not post about and I will just take it down - not sure of this falls into the "don't diagnose" category or not.

My question is: could something that happened around the age 2 1/2 be something i could remember? Can i have trauma memories from that time?

When i was 2 and a half my mother had an affair and my dad responded by having an affair with someone at work and also by drinking A LOT and getting really mean, my mother told me. He also got the woman he was having an affair with to come by and vandalize our house. I never saw my dad drink as a kid ever. When I turned 21 he really wanted to get drinks with me and as soon he started drinking I felt terror and fear all over my body, and since then I have learned he's had more issues around alcohol that i didn't know about/that he kept hidden, not just this period of when I was so little. I was a kid who started having memories on the earlier side but I'm not sure if I could have remembered this happening. I've dealt with people with alcohol problems as an adult and I have issues with regressing into being a scared child around it. I also don't know if I could have remembered the stress in the household at that age, the other stuff around my mom's affair and then I guess my dad's affair. Does the body keep the score so intensely when it's so so so so young?
