If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?
If I could invite I would invite my father. I still have many questions to ask him. I would of course have fresh halibut and asparagus for him with Miller Light beer. It was my fathers’s favorite meal, and beer.
My questions would be about the repressed memories I have about childhood trauma’s. I only recall experiences because of dissociating amnesia. I remember a deep fryer being poured on top of me when I was four. I remember being locked in a long hallway with the doors being locked and told to shut up and not make a sound, or I would regret it. I remember having nightmares so bad I would vomit, and my mother coming in and telling me I was disgusting and tearing off my pajamas and blankets and my sleeping naked freezing until morning.. I remember being scalded with water when give a bath. These I have come to grips with and healed from. But I know there’s more, that I have repressed. At times I still get flashbacks of certain experiences but I would like to ask my father about them. Just so I could heal from them and move on.
