Yes, & the adrenaline that accompanies it makes the world look extra crisp, & the senses go on overload. In other instances, the mind blanks out because it's in survival mode, so can't remember things said or done during a traumatic event. It all just depends on the situation & what capacity the person holds to deal with it in the moment.

When you are severely abused, or sexually abused as a small child, you can remember those things. I can remember very very early memories and so can my partner as a result of severe abuse we experienced. It’s only moments of memories, not the longer more detailed memories you get as you get older since as a baby you don’t understand what’s happening or what you see. I believe her. It’s cruel to the people saying that they don’t believe her. If this was YOUR life imagine how awful it would be for people to tell you you’re lying about what you experienced.

Someone replied trying to disprove childhood memories with “google research” and then deleted their response so I’m going to reply anyways as I’m sure they’re scouring the comments looking for confirmation bias: As someone who studied psychology & child development, I can tell you as someone who literally experienced memories from being younger than 3 that it is possible but it is as of right now considered an anomaly. It CAN happen. And no, I didn’t say an infant can remember in the way you can remember what you ate yesterday. Infants & toddlers don’t have enough understanding of what’s going on to remember that way, but they are absorbing everything in their environments. Sounds, smells, touch, taste. They’re learning EVERYTHING at those ages. Hence why a lot of children who are sexually abused very young will display signs of it into toddler ages and beyond. Even your body remembers what happened to you. You are thinking “memory” as adult formed memories. Not early development memories. Even if I myself did not experience this, I would not discredit another person because anything is possible and science is ever-changing. I say all of this respectfully to you, but you are wrong.

@@sagewestbrook8873you pretty much said the same thing. So how is it "wrong"? My 1st memory that I've been able to keep my entire life, since 2 years old, was sitting at the bottom of the stairs that led out the back door of our home. I was feeding a billy goat bread. It's only a few seconds that I can remember. I know I was really enjoying it. I had a psychologist tell me that when we have a strong feeling of emotion, it tends to help us hold onto that memory. If having the time of my life can help me remember something merely days after turning 2, then why can't someone going through horrific abuse remember because of the awful way it made them feel? I know the details around my 1st memory, because after at 16, I had my 1st child, I was talking to my mom. I asked her if it was a real memory, or if I dreamed it or something? She couldn't believe I remembered that! She said it was about a week after my 2nd birthday. We lived out in a rural area. One of the farmers close by had a billy goat get loose. I was sitting at the bottom of the stairs eating a peanut butter sandwich. Mom had the back door open, and was watching me while she cleaned up the kitchen. She glanced away for a second, and when she looked back I was feeding this goat my sandwich. It kind of scared her, and she tried making it leave. But I asked if it could stay. So she sat beside me, and let me finish feeding it. I say that you are wrong, for telling her she's wrong.

Your resilience in overcoming neglect and abuse is truly remarkable. I commend you for breaking the cycle, ensuring that your own children aren't subjected to the same hardships, and for resisting the temptation to numb the pain with drugs. Unfortunately, many who endure similar upbringings perpetuate the cycle of trauma onto the next generation. While therapy is crucial in this journey, delving into the root causes of your parents' behavior is equally important. I wish you and your family all the best as you navigate this path of healing and growth.

Her coping mechanism is phenomenal. She is so strong!

There is no way Regina should have done as well as she has. This one brought tears to my eyes to just see how much she has struggled and overcome. No child should ever live as she described. She was abandoned in more ways than just family. This story reminds me of a young girl, Melisha Gibson, in Cleveland TN in the 70's that didn't turn out as well as Regina's life. I have never forgotten what was discovered with her struggles. Thanks.

My adopted daughter was removed from her biological family at 4 years old. She has vivid memories of her biological family, even things like, "I don't eat grilled hot dogs, I only eat boiled hotdogs." But in the last ten years she has lived with me, I have never boiled a hot dog. Many things randomly taking her right back to living with them.

Finally someone from where I’m from. Grew up with the same trauma no sexual abuse but man physical abuse and emotional abuse took a toll on me. Grew up in Minnesota foster care myself . I pride you for being a great person after all you’ve been through. My childhood was extremely similar

It’s so hard to fathom that people can be so cruel. Regina strikes me as a highly intelligent, honest, and extraordinary woman who acted out in normal ways, considering her extremely abusive childhood. Everything she talked about regarding her actions made so much sense in light of her experiences. I will be praying blessings on Regina and her children.

Self parenting is relatable. Very self aware individual.

I remember when my mom would visit me and she’d bring me balloons with strings attached to play with and bounce around during our visits together. I remember my third birthday. I think it’s actually more common than people realize especially for those who have been through trauma

Good morning Mark! Thanks for being so creative and amazing!

What a beautiful portrait of resilience and courage . Her inner dialogue post traumas was her holding her own hand and reassuring her future self that there was a compassionate witness. She was singularly that for herself. Her inner soliloquy saved her soul from the dungeon mentality trap that sinks so many. Impressive human being . .

I got put in foster care for 6 months and a 13 year old girl that was also in foster care exposed me to adult stuff. Many years I was very angry at her, and after talking to a friend of mine not long ago, made the point maybe somebody did something to her inappropriately as well. In a way , this girl perhaps didn't know what she was doing was wrong. Idk.. ultimately; to set myself free I forgave her. Forgiving people that do bad to us DOESN'T excuse what they did; it sets us free. Far as mothers go, I was in the care of a narcissistic, self serving, evil woman whom I truly believe isn't capable of loving her children. Despite all the abuse, just wanted her to love me. Now, after almost 50 years, I've accepted it'll never happen with her and I'm mostly OK with it.

wow, chills the entire video. I'm so sorry what you and your siblings went through, my gosh. :(

Wow I love that “I look forward to even the small things like tomorrow I get to drink a Diet Coke.”… amazing coping skills God bless you girl, you are amazingly strong I’m so proud of how you came out on the other side.. just blown away !! 👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🌹🌹

Omg I can relate to you so much. Thank you for sharing because, you’ve also have awakened some memories for me. I too can remember things while in the crib and I’m 53. Thank you again 😊 Cheers to you ❤

Im 35 too and im not sure where id be if i were in your place.. u are so special and so unique in every way just looking at your hands and the way u are moving them means something. U are gorgeous my friend god bless u ❤️

Regina, I have so much respect for you and your strength. I can't imagine what you've endured. Happy that you're living the life *you* *deserve*

To begin, thankyou Mark for offering this platform for people to feel safe to,share this narrative . Regina is heroic. To,have survived her upbringing and experiences is beyond real understanding. I csn hear her reticence in her voice. I believe every recollection she shared. I want to somehow honour her courage. How can we do that?

Some people do have memories from a very young age. It’s pretty incredible.

No matter the gender of the adult either gender can molest. No matter the age of the child that is abuse, abuse is abuse. When it comes from the adult that is to protect you (parent) it is even more traumatic. Regina is doing her damnest to change and protect her children from this. Bless you Regina. May you find peace, comfort and safety. (BDT and have stopped cycles too)

Very well said.

I am so sorry this is the way you were brought into the word. Sending you so much love and light and positivity and healing energy

You’re an incredible person. Your children are lucky to have you as their mother.

Regina, sending care and hugs, sister. I know how you feel. God bless you. Never stop loving you. It's so important for those of us to love the child inside of us that was neglected, abused and unloved. You take care sweetheart. Hugs from Nanabear in Texas.❤

CPTSD CHILDHOOD PDST IS A Real THING. I AM LEARINF ABOUT IT NOW. Bless your soul.....thank you Mark ❣️

Thank you for sharing your story with us, Regina

She's a very brave and very strong lady thank you for your truth it helped me feel less alone ❤

God bless you with healing and peace! memory is so weird. Some trauma survivors don’t remember anything and others have laser focused memories because of traumatic events. I have siblings that can remember back to two years old - some friends remember being in a crib - the heart has memory cells. Whether the memory is exact or not the result from the trauma is embedded in the memory

Your gods a superstition!

So much resilience and strength❤ im so grateful you have a happy life and made it thru all that happened to you

Regina, you are an amazing woman. Out of the ashes, you have become a phoenix. I hope you are proud of yourself of all you have done for yourself and your family. They are lucky to have you. Thank you for sharing your story and I pray the rest of your life is blessed.

I believe every word she said. Some things, some psychological coping mechanisms she talked about, you can't make them up. I know they're real

Agreed

Thank you Regina for sharing your story/ life experience!

I’m like her, I present well and people think I’m completely fine but I’m dealing with a lot from my childhood and young adult. I’m happy she’s going to therapy. It’s been so helpful for me.

Such a strong woman despite all she passed trough. She was born with this special emotional intelligence

You are amazing I’m so happy you’re so understanding to the horrible things that happened to you but you did not let it define you and you definitely broke the cycle for you and your kids this interview had made me think a lot, thank you and mark and I wish you all the best and hopefully others will learn from this too ❤

Thank you so much for your comment. I truly appreciate it. Please remember it's hard but the trauma doesn't define you. Thank you again for the love! ❤

I am sorry for all you have endured. When you mentioned the lice and the shame you carry, it breaks my heart. Your mom could have helped you but she didn't. She wouldn't hug you, so heartbreaking. It hurts so badly to be neglected. You are right about how other people take advantage of those that are injured. You are wise and you will continue to heal.

Wow, what a remarkable life, Regina. I love your takeaway - despite the ugly, it is still a beautiful world. Thank you for seeking it and thank you for sharing your story. ♥️

Saw Reginas photography. Absolutely majestic. Her photos tell a story, and captures time. Theres a calmness one is left with her work.

Thank you for taking the time to check it out. I appreciate it. I really try because art has always helped me.

Your body never forgets, your senses, your knowledge of your private parts and sex acts, your body never forgets. Been there. Thank you Regina, you are amazing :)

Hugs and love to you and all who relate. You are a star xxx❤

I have flashbacks of memories of when I was two, yes it is possible…

Mark, it would be very interesting to do an interview with a boarding school survivor(s) that missionaries started for children in the mid nineteenth century.

What you said, that when you have kids your life isn’t as important as theirs, that’s what matters most. That is the secret to enjoying your life as you age, if you sacrifice your life to ensure you raise a solid balanced child, and I don’t mean you stop enjoying your own life as well. But the greatest rewards in life come from the sacrifices we make for our offspring.

Thank so much for sharing your story.

THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE

soul sister...been through very similar childhood..we do recover... helping others helps .

I can't imagine what some children go through.

Incredibly brave for sharing some deep personal information. I truly need to take some time to digest this one. The biggest virtual hug to this sweet lady 🫶
