I believe I was but not sure if it was from my drunk father or his drunk father. I get to thinking about it and it's like my memory gets blocked. My grandpa is dead, but I was always uncomfortable around him and have a lot of memory blocks regarding him and their home. I also find I don't like being alone with my father and haven't for several years. I am 40 y/o and I just wonder if this can be determined b/c I think it will lift a huge weight from my shoulders.

you are letting society and the media over power your mind and thoughts you need to find a hobby and go out and be more productive and stop looking for issues from the past. There is nothing you can do about any of it so just let it go and move on and live your life

I have been a certified hypnotist since 1954 and was over joyed when the regression techniques were first developed.Almost the same time practitioners noticed that a false memory could be built on almost any hint or idea including the ones being brought into the regression. If the subject felt that a relative or other person had done something ...In the regression they had even if they were somewhere else including dead at the time.
I do not know of any reputable practitioner that uses regressions of this type. The "memory " retrieved becomes real and a part of the persons history,there is no difference weather the information is true or false. Take care on this one it can bite you.

You may be able to find out but you have to be careful who you choose as hypnotist. studies have shown that if the wrong questions are asked or questions are asked in the wrong way, that can led to memories of being molested that may not be true. If you can, it is better to put that behind you this many years later. On the other hand, if you find out through hypnosis that your father did not molest you, if may give you a way to be close to him now before it is too late. Just be careful who you chose to do the hypnosis. Good Luck to you with this.

Hypnosis can implant memories that seem real but are false. It won't uncover the truth. If your father or grandfather was drunk, and it was one time, it doesn't have to affect you forever. Perhaps you can learn to forgive: it's hard enough to forgive them for being alcoholics. Maybe some therapy will help -- not to uncover the "truth" - whatever that is -- but to help you get at underlying issues around your family, like dealing with their drunkenness.

Absolutely not! And the reason being is that because you have already placed this belief in your mind your mind can actually accept it as being true even if it isn't.
Our minds are very programable and just like we can believe stories so can anything you believe work the same way.
Politicians are the classic example of how they can empower beliefs into peoples minds. And people believe them time after time. Even though they know from previous times they were being ripped off.
If your mind wasn't developed enough at that time its most likely the result wont be accurate.

Yes. However, you must seek a professional so that you get unbiased assistance. You also must know that with a professional they can make it so your memories are something you remember without the pain of reliving the experience. Once you know what you have forgotten there must be some healing. You might want to seek someone who also does NLP work with their clients.

I think it is best to forget any bad experience for ur own good. Whatever happened to u as a child is not ur fault. U could not protect urself so it was. Now u r mature enough to do better things. Involve urself in some sport or dance so that u sweat a lot and all negativity is washed out. Do pranayaam as taught by Baba Ram Dev and it will cure ur mental illness and give u stable temperament and help u make better use of ur life.

You probably were molested ( but only you would know). If you felt that way around them you were definitely abused in some way very badly. I know i wasn't molested and my memories are clear and people who wern't molested usually don't have questions about it. they know for a fact they wern't. something strange probably did happen.
