In this paper, the author reflects on the narratives of some Caribbean serial migrants who were interviewed about their experiences of interrupted attachment that occurred as a result of parental separation during serial migration from the Caribbean. She highlights the role that coherent narrative and remembered history can have in promoting a sense of belonging for individuals and communities. The author reflects on some of the stories in which individuals ‘forgot’ relatives or relationships that were affected by their serial migration experiences. The author highlights how forgotten stories can illuminate the presence of difficult emotions surrounding interrupted attachments, and discusses the emotional impact of the serial migration experience on the parent. The author discusses how research to support an attachment-orientated relational psychotherapy is warranted.
