No worries. I don't remember most of my childhood either, and that had _no_ effect on my recovery in ACoA. What I did was work on the _present_. It's the tangled feelings and confused expectations that I have _today_ that make a mess of my life. What happened in my childhood is the _cause_ of my "baggage", but it's not the cure.

Not weird at all. At my meetings it is very, very common. I don't think there is a single person I know in ACoA who has the standard memory of their childhood. Personally I think it makes perfect sense, why would anybody _want_ to remember this horror?
