I hope you won't tell me not to post to you again, but I thought 'Dr. Rod's' post was interesting. Not that I necessarily agree with everything in it, I do believe that *I* have similar experiences with memory to yours (and, some way too vivid), but there is much that I have 'blocked out.' In fact, most of my younger years.
So, it was interesting to read about the idea of the change between younger memories, and older ones. Of course, then, I have memories that I'm not sure if they're real (me hiding--or trying to--behind the toilet while mom raged at me and tried to get to me to beat me when I was VERY young) or dreams.
I would think your 'not recalling' which parent handed you the knife was very self-protective. You were in a position of relying on people you couldn't trust (as are we all sometimes, but rarely are we so vulnerable).
I do hope you are ok in general. Given what I know about your strength and abilities, I would guess that you know how to take care of yourself. If I can help at all, I hope you'll let me know.
Best,
Shar
