What's your earliest traumatic memory?

Well i think i was about 9 or 10, when just me and my Mum moved from the family house into council house, remember having some night terrors, the walls definitely become hellish like moving scorpions or looking like spinal cords. Some years later i had several sleep paralysis episode.
I watched American Warewolf in London at a similar age, that disturbed me no end for quite a while thereafter.

age 3
burned in fire.

Remember this was in 1982. I guess if someone had to disappear like that today it would be a lot harder. He was a delivery guy for auto parts. They found the company truck parked in a local shopping center 2 days later, no sign of him anywhere.

He didn't even bother picking up is pay check (my mother had to go get it) and no activity in his bank account after that date either.

What pisses the most is that he left my mother with 3 kids (10,9 and 7 yo boys) without any kind of revenue. Back then, most mothers were staying at home. My mother was 29 yo back then.

Police did research for years, never found anything.

Did you ever learn to swim? Or are you still afraid of water?

JUST COMING BACK FROM GERMANY..GENUIS MY FATHER WAS PUT ME IN FIGHT..AGAINST BLACK BOY 2 YEARS YOUNGER..IT WAS NOT BY DOING

EVENTUALLY I GOT BACK AT MY FATHER..I NOT PUNCH HIM..I PICK HIM UP AND SLAM HIM ON THE GROUND

MY FATHER WAS SMALL..ACTUALLY HIS BODY..HE WAS A WOMEN

AND SOMEHOW HE THINK HE A MAN

thats so crazy... from your sentiment im guessing you all figured he simply left the family, rather than something bad having happened? Pff sucks.
But it looks like your mother did good and pulled through.

and yea.. back in the day america must have been HEAVEN for drifters and people who wanted to disappear etc.

sad :(
and crazy...
<3

I think we found the future school shooter

EVENTUALLY BLACK BOY WAS CRYING..I SAID..I DONT WANT TO PUNCH HIM NO MORE...THEN GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK STEP IN..

HIGHLY unlikely he would take off and not collect his check first if he was the kind of guy that took off on you, but then again maybe it absolved him of his guilt a bit by leaving it for them.

HE WANT TO PROSECUTE, BUT THEN HE LET IT GO

MY FATHER WAS AN IDIOT

MY FATHER..I HATE HIM...HE MAKE ME FIGHT..HE TOLD MY MOTHER NOT TO FEED ME TO ALL0W ME BIGGER THAN HIM..HE MUST BE THE BIG MAN OF THE FAMIY..BUT HE FORCE ME TO FIGHT..ALL THE WHILE HE CHICKEN OUT

This sounds like the penis envy joke.

The next day when the boys made fun of her again, she said, " My mommy told me as long as I have one of these I can get one if those any time I want!"

AND ALL THE WILE HE CHEAT ON MY MOTHER..RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER..I SHOULD HAVE KILLED THE ASSHOLE

Yeah, I had a similar experience in the 5th grade and it was even more bizarre.

A bigger kid probably 14 or so no one at my school had ever seen before ran up and attacked me for no reason and then went and jumped in a car. He was a raunchy, filthy looking fucker that looked like he lived under a trailer somewhere.

I know it could not have been anything I had done because it was my second day of school in that town.

I hadn't even had time to make a real enemy. Not to harp on it or anything but this was a reoccurring theme in my life, older boys or men and sometimes women attacking me for no reason I could establish, it is almost as if some organized group was stalking me in some bizarre scheme

Being pulled out from under the doctor's table by a few nurses, running from their vaccination shots.

this happened last year?

When I was three I overheard my mom and dad talking about me having to get my shots, and I thought they were talking about me having to get getting shot. I was and still am hearing impaired.


Seeing that snake on that symbol in the doctors office didnt help any either, I was terrified and I still am of getting jabbed with a needle.

Sister being diagnosed with Autism. They finally found a program. My parents would argue a lot.

Getting molested by a sick ass motherfucker at the innocent age of three.

Jumping with a fully inflamed sprained ankle making my 4th jump at Ft Benning jump school.. As a US Marine the Corps would not pay for me to be recycled.. So I faked my initial injury and caught the next C130 and Jumped.. Hitting the ground at 22 ft per second.. It was like BoiNG! kapOwPain from heLL!

Watching TMI crisis on Tv and my mom telling me if it gets much worse we have to leave forever. I can remember it like it was yesterday.

Being taken to fairs and carnivals as a small child (5) by my drunken father and being publicly berated by the bastard for crying because I could not get on a ride due to older children beating me to carriers. For some weird reason the creep got a kick out of attacking me in public? He loved crowds watching him do this or he loved being the center of attention! This made me shy for the rest of my life. To this day I hate being the center of attention.
Please don't do this to a child.

We remember everything... at least everything effects us ...especially horrific trauma like using sciccors to cut off the tip of your penis.

Every man I've known who has been circumcisedd so clearly fucking remembers it on a deep level. It's lifelong trauma.

That’s really rough when you have not only one person abusing you, but two. Thankfully my Dad didn’t abuse me but he would work at least 12 hour days, pretty much any excuse to not be home and deal with my Mom.

That’s crazy she fired a gun on you. My mother was definitely similar, she never fired a gun on us but she threatened to whenever she was “in a mood”. Once my brother and I got older (taller than her) the physical abuse stopped and it was all emotional/verbal abuse.

Was your mother triggered by holidays or birthdays? I could never celebrate my birthday and days like Christmas would set her off the deep end. My most memorable Christmas was when I was 12. We came home from a family Christmas party really late at night, and at midnight she declared that “Christmas was over”, proceeded to knock over the Christmas tree, opened the sliding door and dragged the tree out in the deck. She followed it up with throwing the presents outside into the snow and trying to light matches and toss them on the tree to burn it. As if that wasn’t bad enough she told my brother, Dad, and I that she was going to shoot us all with a shot gun. Later on in the night my brother woke to the smell of gas, she had lit every burner on the stove and blew out the flames letting the gas leak in the house. All I can say is, thank God she didn’t light a cigarette in that time period because we all would have gone up in flames.

I definitely think experiences like these make us stronger and creates a great amount of patience.

My mother passed away a few years ago as well. She had an aggressive form of cancer, only lived for 3.5 months from diagnosis till death. She really suffered. I kind of feel like, had she not been such a nasty person, she wouldn’t have had it so bad.

Glad you made it out ok despite having a shitty childhood. We can either grow from this stuff or let it hold us back.

I was between 2-3. I was running down the sidewalk with a toy shopping cart and slipped, fell, and knocked my front upper teeth through my bottom lip. I remember my mother calling a neighbor to take us to the dentist or doctor because my mother didn't drive and my father was at work. I don't remember anything after that.
