If you could erase one painful memory forever, what would it be?

What are your worst memories you want to erase permanently?🤔

[Vesuvius87]

Early childhood physical punishment

My parents' horrible arguments that would get violent

School bullying from grades 4th-7th grade

Though it would likely be dangerous to erase painful memories. What if that causes my loving husband and precious treasure (my 11 month-old son) to stop existing? Then I would be miserable in that case. What if erasing those painful memories, gets me into a worse present and future? This reminds me of the butterfly effect, where every time you try to change something for the better, the present time gets even more complicated.

When I was 5 I had to pee in class. I couldn't find my teacher. She was changing into a dinosaur Halloween costume behind her desk. When I found her she was in her underwear and she called me a pervert. She pulled my ear and dragged me to the teachers bathroom. She looked the door and berated me for being a pervert. Then she grounded my face into her privates violently until my nose bled. I blocked it all out and just went on living, hating girls and women all of my life. Every woman I have gone down on all I can taste is blood. My blood. But I did it because I loved them. One day when I was drunk something broke and I remembered everything. I told my girlfriend and she called me a faqqot for complaining. I would forget ever knowing that cunt. She was even worse than the woman that broke my nose face fucking me as a child.

My aim on GAG is to help you untangle feelings, spot red flags, and make love hurt a little less and feel a lot better.

I’d erase the memory of my first real heartbreak in my early 20s. She lovebombed hard, then ghosted me out of nowhere. That punch-in-the-gut moment of realizing I’d been played still stings. It messed with my trust and made falling in love feel dangerous for a while.

If I can forget almost a whole year, my boyfriend in college my freshman year. If it’s just one specific memory like one event on one day, an encounter w a “rebound” guy after I got out of that other relationship. I was making really bad choices that time of my life and it still makes me question myself sometimes even though it has been a long time now.
