my big brother autom is 5 years older then me. me amd him was talking about the pass bcuz i havn't seen him in along time like when i was 5 years old. so i ask him about the pass, about when i was little and how i use to be....then i get got odd, ''he looks at me and says he can't remember anything pass the age of 8 year old'', then i ask him what do u remember when u were 5 and i was born, 'i dont know, its just black.... so ya let change this topic it feels odd'. when i was little like 5 or 6 my mom said for me not to hige out with my uncle tony and i did so bcuz my mom said not too. so i ask my older cuzin who tommy who 19 what happen uncle tony, & y i cant hige out with uncle tony and he said autom got touch by uncle tony. i don't want to ask autom is that y u can't remember stuff from the pass... what should i do?

The memories are suppressed, best to leave them that way in my opinion

In order for him to get over the memories, he chooses to forget them, or not to bring them up. Either way, give him the right to not want to remember, or to not wish to talk about it. Events happen in our life that break us to the point that we no longer want to discuss about them anymore. Awful memories and events that haunt us. One way of dealing with the memories is to wash them away from our memories, and by doing that you can not talk about them or "not remember" them. Talk about happy things with him, don't bring up horrible events from the past.

Memory suppression is the brains defense mechanism agains pain, both emotional and physical. If there suppressed then there's a reason. I say leave him be, let him cope the way he feels most comfortable.
