Ok so l have this memory of being really young and I was in a room at night with my oldest sister. I remember her kissing me and me not really liking it but her just kinda going on until she was done. But the thing is idk if this really happened. I remember it very vaguely but what I do remember feels very real to this day. Sometimes i think it was dream but the most important thing that I can remember was the actual feeling of us kissing and how much I hated it. You don't really remember the actual physical feeling of things in your dreams the way I remember this. I remember years ago me and my older sister were having a conversation and she asked me if I had ever had my first kiss and I was like "yeah you" not really thinking much about it at the time as this was years after the incident but I was still really young. She just laughed about it and said it didn't happen and for years I never thought about it until recently. Now it just constantly pops up in my head and I wonder weather or not it really happened. Ik sometimes abuse as a child can be so traumatic that you forget as a lot of my childhood besides certain moments are almost completely forgotten, but I don't think this was bad enough for my brain to forget it? I don't necessarily think that this traumatized me but I do wonder if this did happen could it be apart of the reason as to why my mind is such a mess in my adult life? (I'm 20 now ) I also wonder if it is true then why did she do it? I would ask her but me and her have a pretty solid relationship nowadays so I would hate to bring up old drama plus if it didn't happen then that would be really awkward. But it's suddenly bothering the hell outta me because I feel like I'll never know.
Hi, I am 36 and recently had some childhood trauma come to light. And this is almost what you're explaining, which is almost precisely what I experienced growing up, but I'd like to clarify what part. You are saying you're unsure if it happened, but you remember it vaguely as if it did. That's exactly how I felt growing up. My stepfather would walk into my room, and when he'd start touching me, I'd automatically freeze. I can recall it vividly, but all these years, I would question if it happened. As my therapist recently told me, it was trying to block the trauma as if it didn't happen. I see one comment read why not just ask her, but people don't understand how hard it is to do something like that. I'm still trying to find a way to confront my mother, and it's been a year and a half since my trauma came to light. I'd also highly suggest seeing a therapist if you want to get past this traumatic tunnel that you seem stuck in. ❤️
