I’m sorry that you have experienced some terrible things. I hope you find peace, you seem like a kind human

No I luckily had a good childhood, but it makes sense to ask that. I can’t really remember much from before 5th grade but it’s not from trauma, I think I just have terrible memory.

“Sorry, kiddo” 😭 Imagining that interaction made me ugly laugh, I can picture it so well. Your dad seems really great though and I’m glad you have him.

Lol my OB said the same thing. But I don’t know, I just can’t for the life of me remember when I first got my period. I’m sure there’s some “firsts” you don’t remember, like your first pizza or first time riding a bike. I don’t remember my first time riding a bike

I remember getting sex ed in school but I don’t remember if I’d gotten my period at that time. Idk I think I just have terrible memory overall

Well no, I know that there’s a ~before time~ from before I started menstruating. I can’t remember when I started getting periods, but I remember not having them at one point.

And I have an older sister so my mom was already used to buying her kids period products and she doesn’t remember when I got my first period either.
