Struggling to Remember Traumatic Memories

TW for a small rant I have so many memories I can't access. I know there's some very traumatic ones, and some of those I have a vague feeling of. But I can't imagine them being real—even the traumatic memories I can actually remember. I know my parents are bad, but they can't be that bad and they couldn't have done all that.... But that's clearly not true. Every time I begin to realize how much stress I'm experiencing still living with them and how bad they truly are, I split and then forget it. I want to remember, but I really can't handle it...

If you're splitting and forgetting things, that means you're not in a place to remember those things, and that's okay. You don't have to push it. I'm in the same boat, it's impossible to fully process a trauma that you're still living. You can't heal a wound with the knife still in it. Do what you need to do to survive, and let the parts that remember handle it until you're able. ♡
