[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 654824, member: 11791"] I wonder how many of us could write our life stories and have it 100% accurate? Even without abuse? There are certain experiences - positive, negative or "normal" - that I can recount in vivid detail - and others who were there will agree with 99% of what I remember. For THOSE memories. Other experiences? I'm lucky if I remember 10%. I don't deny the memories of others who were there... what we did or didn't see or hear, when we became aware of the setting, how old we were, other similar things that happened before or after... Memory is not "written in stone". But I don't discount my own memory even when it is at odds with others. Perhaps I saw/felt/sensed something that they missed - something subtle that my brain tried to give meaning to after the fact. [/QUOTE]
