My friend does not remember her childhood?!

My friend does not remember her childhood?

She does not know who her kindergarten teacher was nor what she looked like, infact her memories do not start until she was in third grade. What would cause this?

She is 27 and has no memory problems as of late. She just has never been able to remember her early years.

I have the same problem.

I was sexually abused at a very young age. I remember very little until about the age of 7-1/2.

I didn't know this until I was in therapy for several years and I started having nightmares.

No, my therapist never mentioned it so they are real -- not the power of suggestion.
