Curious is this is an actual term - relational amnesia. Perhaps a survival method by our psyches.
Today I remembered an injury that my W had while talking to someone else who had the same ordeal. It brought back six months of our M to my mind, how we cared for it, trained her despite having it, and the discussions we had around it almost on a daily basis. It all came back to me as if this was an experienced I lived through with her 10 years ago and was remembering. This was last year though!
Sometimes I wonder if our minds just start deleting aspects of our past that are linked to current pain.
