Thank you for your response. I do have a therapist I see regularly. We have worked on trying to bring a story line to these flash images I have. I did end up remembering one small minor instance and your right it was a complete horror to work through. I do feel that there is so much more (like this one small instance of abuse) to discover. Although it took me 10 years to bring back one small glimpse of abuse I don't have very high expectations that it will happen again any time soon.

It also probably doesn't help that my main abuser as a child was my father, and i still have somewhat of a relationship with him. hmmm maybe thats another reason why I am struggling to remember, maybe my brain is still trying to protect me knowing I still see him at times.
