no memory

[Rockbottom11]

hi there, my daughter is now 16 and looking back I have no memory of being pregnant with her, I remember a few moments after the birth and then i have no memory of her growing up. I was a single mum so was with her most of the time. i remember a few bits about her older brother but literally 3 memories of him. Hes grown up now and i see him regularly and I have a few more memories from the last couple of years. Ive had to make up stories of the wonderful things she did growing up as I simply have no memory. This is so weird, can anyone guess why?

If no trama, then I don't have an explanation except maybe you got into a routine (with school/work etc) so it all kind of blurs together. I would suggest start a journal of all the things you now do with your children and if you remember something then write it down etc. That way you have a way to trigger your memory. Take more photos too!!!!

ahh great idea loopylass13, would trauma stop memories? surely they would appear after the trauma ie ex hubby is removed?
