Thank you!

Surely, depending on your beliefs, some explanations may seem more acceptable to you than others.
The idea that a stressful childhood might cause blackouts of memory doesn't suggest that the causation is likely in reverse too: it doesn't mean that because you don't recall much of your childhood, then there must be something your subconscious tries to hide from your conscious.
If you're tempted to investigate if there was something to hide, you can obviously use the services of a
good and trustworthy therapist, but be aware that your and your therapist's expectations will affect what you'll experience.
You can do the same by yourself, by learning self-hypnosis and regressing to any period of your life. Anybody can do it with a little practice.
It is possible that you don't recall much of your childhood because you're too strong anchored into your present life, or if you have a pathological problem with your long term memory access. Hypnotic regression should bypass either cause.
