I'm not sure if this is the right place but I have seen loads of threads on here about familys and things. So if it's wrong please tell me where I can get it moved to.
I had a hard childhood, drug addict mother, looked after my siblings from a very very young age (I was looking after my newborn brother at 6) I was physically and mentally absused by my birth mother before she finally gave up and decided to put me into care just before my teens. Was lucky enough to have a wonderful foster family until I was 16.
I am NC with my birth mother after I found her in my late teens and she made out it was all a joke.
I've seen a few things on my records about what happened to me that I have no memory of, whole people I don't remember quite late on in my childhood, I remember random things from when I was two but not people who were actually quite a presence in my life much later on while I lived with my mother.
Do I ask to see the rest of my records? (I know I can, I've looked into it). I feel like I both need to know and don't. I remember a lot of terrible horrible things that happened to me, so I'm wondering if I've blocked it out because it's worse or because it's insignificant.
I know I'm rambling but I've been thinking about it a lot recently.
