Darin is going through repression.  Repression is what happens after a traumatic event happens, and it's a psychological defense mechanism where the brain tries to just remove something from the memory of the person affected.  Basically, it's the brain pushing all these bad memories into a box and locking up the box and not letting the memories out.
