I'm struggling with imperfect, fractured memory issues at the moment, and if someone could just confirm it already. Not knowing for absolute certain has been sending me over the deep end. What's real? What's not? How much is real? Questions that I'll never get solid answers to.
What I do know for absolute certain - I have serious psychological issues going on, issues that I couldn't fake even if I tried. I can't fake things like my gut reaction to grey carpet. That's real. It's coming from somewhere. And I have memories which the literature says are probably pretty accurate, and it can't be coincidence that my "memory" fits perfectly (like, 100% perfect fit) with the usual repercussions from csa, so...
There is no written guarantee. But there is, in time, a certain degree of faith that you build up in yourself, learning to trust yourself, and acceptance instead of self-doubt and denial. The memory may never be perfect (memory isn't), but that's okay. Frustrating, but okay.
