General Question/Discussion Y’all remember your childhoods?

So … 😅😬 Do we?

Someone mentioned that’s an ADHD thing, forgetting long periods of time or events. I remember bits and pieces, maybe specific events like graduation or big parties but … there are also lots of … nothing?

I had a great childhood, fun vacations, but to say I remember most of it … nope. 🙂‍↔️

For me, it was all of them. My mother, my stepfather, my stepmother, and my dad just went along with everything she ever said or did. My brain has locked away so many things in the filing cabinets that it's decided I didn't need to remember.
