I have a handful and none of them really good. My parents divorced when I was 4 so they're at the latest from them and some definitely younger.
My parents separated right before my 3rd birthday, and I still remember the argument (not the words, but the emotions and some actions). My mom threw a shoe and I remember thinking it was funny, because it landed on the window sill. I remember my dad leaving out the side door, and I guess it stuck with me cause he didn't come back (not out of my life, just never came "home"). And then I remember my 3rd birthday party, who was there, and even a remote control car that my friend's parents got me
But because of that, I can make a timeline a little easier, of whether my parents were together or not. And also which house, because they separated after moving to "my" second house
My first house we moved out of when I was maybe 2-ish. And I can still draw the layout, and what room was what. I can remember a Mr Yuk magnet on the fridge
My mom making fishsticks in the oven and they caught fire
A net of stuffed animals above my crib
Jumping in my crib and laughing with my sister, and then pretending to be asleep when the babysitter opened the door.
Shit, I still remember staring at that damn mobile above my crib a little, cause it was so soothing to me. I actually really liked that crib, it felt so safe lol
And then at our second house, I got a "big boy" bed and had my own room. Old memories are so strange in the way they're recalled, almost like a fever dream or something
