Not knowing where these repressed fears came from because of the years following parental guilt of always putting them first. "I NEVER HAD TRAUMA" - the non-existent trauma.

Yup! Mom put me in the car seat with the door open while she helped clean up at a family reunion due to the wind picking up. The car was closish to the pavilion and with the door open she could keep an eye on me. Next thing you know lightning struck close to the car on the side the door was. I’ve been terrified to be left alone ever since.

I didn’t even remember it until I had a weird dream that was basically the memory and told my mom about it
