I have a hard time remembering most things from my childhood (the time of the trauma). I remember vague, odd situations, some of which are related to the abuse and some of which are not. But from talking with friends, I think I have a far less cohesive narrative of my youth than people who were not abused. Which makes sense. My brain was focused on getting through things, not on experiencing them.

Now, in adulthood, I am quite flaky. I keep my calendar with me at all times and attach post-its that remind me of things as I recall them. I go to the grocery for two items and then forget what I needed. I go downstairs and forget why. I wouldn't say I've got a flaky personality--in fact, I'm often quite anal and perfectionistic--so I do think this is something of a carryover effect of the trauma's effect on memory.
