I’m just wondering like… suppose if my parents weren’t my real parents, and were actually my kidnappers, how young would that have to have happened?
I have very vague memories of like going to Hong Kong as a kid… and like… suppose I got kidnapped there, would I even have remembered?
How old do you actually remember the faces of your real parents? Can a set of imposter parents manage to trick you? Like somehow brainwash you to forget the kidnapping ever happened? And that you were always their child?
I read about like kidnapping stories where the kid just grow up normally in their adoptive family and apparantly never remember they got kidnapped? What?
(Just curious, definitely not paranoia… xD)

I remember having a fight with my older brother and I kinda ran away from home, pretty sure this was after the Hong Kong trip, this memory was more vivid and… I was about 5-7 I’m pretty sure I returned home later that night, possibly explains why I get weirdly emotionally attached to parents, older brother = danger, parents = the next safest thing that I know, the outside world has just been so cruel to me, I sort of overlooked my parents emotionally abusive behaviors… there’s nothing I could do.
