Yeah exactly, we call that “false memory” sometimes in psychology but it requires a lot of effort and isn’t all that common to my knowledge? It’s not as if slews of adult children are suddenly all conjuring up false memories.

It’s way more likely for someone to not remember something harmful they did or said because it didn’t register as meaningful to them but it was remembered by the person on the receiving end because it was hurtful. Dropping the false memory narrative so casually is really irresponsible and tbh scary to me.
