The only "lucky" thing is that she probably won't remember a lot of what happened.


If something this fricked up happened to me, I'd remember it. 3 isn't exactly infancy.

Most memories before 5 are implicit. I will say I've met people who have explicit memory since an infant. Like my wife swears she remembers screaming in crib for her parents. I have memories that I believe are from before 5 but they are definitely fragmented and not continuous.

A lot of people that go through this type of trauma dissociate. People can go through this type of thing at 8 come out of it with no memory.

Count yourself lucky if this isn't your defense mechanism. Of course, you may have lived a fairly trauma free life, so you may not know. I had a friend that could flash back to some child hood abuse without a moment's notice. It would suck to know that shite is buried so deep it's only triggered at an unexpected moment.
