actually, I'm aware of blackouts and the how/why of them. I didn't post that they can be caused by other things than alcohol, including extreme feelings of guilt, because that wouldn't have done much more than appear like I was doubting your sincerity. One woman in our program is the premier researcher on memory reconstruction...you could look her up. I will PM her name to you, and you will find her work informative and helpful, I'm sure. It interesects precisely with how the brain & memory works with the law.
look abaya, all I'm pointing out to you is if you appeared to be lucid and sober after a period of time then how is the guy supposed to know that you weren't short of running a barrage of tests on you?
I really can't account for how you're coming at me, because in my mind I've been respectful of your feelings and what you view as traumatic. That's fine, but it's odd that I am answering in a way very similar to how your real life friends answer, and yet on here you noticed that a few people actually responded in a way that both surprised you and has given you some comfort. I didn't mean to take away from that comfort, but remember that the general consensus you're getting on this board was initially surprising to you.
I'm going to bow out of this conversation because it doesn't seem like I'm getting a fair shake. I'm not upset with you, nor have I lost any respect for you. But I never asked for transcripts of your conversations. I'm merely answering your question of how I would assess the situation based off what you wrote. It seems that as your posts continue, more facts come out. And those facts significantly alter the context and framing of the interaction. I hope that as time goes by, you'll revisit this thread and understand how I came to the conclusions I posted.
PM sent.
