I was just a baby. I couldn’t fake that I loved him when I didn’t. I did learn to tolerate and to suppress.
Why is the Army’s cadence of “Here we go again” coming to mind?

How can you remember that if you were a baby? I can’t remember anything from when I was a baby, in psychology courses they said memories form at age 3-4 and anything before that is fabricated with fake memories by the brain.
At 77, I have nothing better to do in order to reach a deeper understanding than to allow myself to remember.
@Aziz - That sounds about right, my memories start at age 4 or 5.

This experience … made you stolid?
No. Only when I was dominated did I ever appear stolid.

Yeah, the earliest memory that I can remember and know what my age was is of showing my great grandma that I could show how old I was by holding up my fingers. I think I was 4 or 5.
I also remember getting inside of one of those reclining chairs with the footrest that comes out and enjoying being inside the chair in the dark. I don’t know how old I was but I would’ve had to have been small to fit inside it.

My earliest memories of my maternal grandfather start around age four. I remember sitting on his lap and him tousling my hair and calling me “rabbit.”. He still had a good Irish accent even after living in Canada for sixty years. He smell of cheap cigars and beer.

My hands always reeked from chopping garlic and onions back in my glory days as a chef. No amount of hand washing removed the onion funk!

I used to spray 100s of gallons of bleach at work. So I’d smell like a clean pool everyday I worked

My mother worked for a while at a factory that made herring oil.
The entire town stank while it was operating, but any complaint from kids was met by adults with “it smells like money”
