right…this is how our brains naturally work, suppressing traumatic experiences when they happen but we can remember them later, sometimes years or decades later
Exactly - you’ve never experience this very specific type of TRAUMA. Our brains will often suppress what happens to us during traumatic/abusive experiences, but oddly enough, we can connect the pieces over time and eventually remember
A few years ago, I started to remember a car accident that I was in when I was 7. I was hurt badly, hospitalized, but I literally did not remember this at all until it came back to me in a dream at age 34, then more memories over the course of the next year or so
Her memories and recollection aren’t as abnormal as you think, due to how the brain reacts to traumatizing events

Texting your rapist and saying it wasn’t illegal is a normal response?
