How much of your memory is missing?

There is a whole chunk of about 4 years missing from my childhood. I cannot remember anything except one or two incidents of horrific abuse. During those years, I was feeling quite miserable, forced to perform certain duties everyday for hours on end, and I didn't have many conversations with people around. I was told that for a person, especially a child to form memories, he or she must spend time talking about things that have happened during their day. The talking helps create a filing system in our brains so that we can retrieve our memories.
