Imagine being able to remember enough to answer questions about your childhood, couldn't be me.

Yeah... based on what I keep remembering lately it’s a lot of unpleasantness. I learned recently that a lot of my growing up experiences were not normal and I’m still grappling with that
Me recently: "Ah yes, that that time I was evacuated from a war zone, leaving my father behind, that very normal childhood event. I suppose that *was* stressful now that you mention it." (It's less dramatic than it sounds and my father is fine, but it wasn't *not* dramatic)

I think it's very hard to know how "normal" our childhood experiences were and what sort of impact they had, and most people don't really compare notes so it's easy to miss.

Like, I know I was in a bit of a bubble being a racially diverse conservative Christian setting, but sometimes I have memories that I try to compare with friends raised *similarly* and they still look at me like “Whhhyy???” For ex:https://twitter.com/mustashton/status/1296261497555947520?s=21 …
