Your anecdotal experience doesn't have anything to do with this if you weren't traumatized at a young age.

My parents were divorced when I was about 2? Not "trauma" maybe, but you'd think it might be something I might remember. I dunno.

Trauma doesn't always come with memories. You might have some form of PTSD response to the stressors the divorce caused.

Significant trauma are frequently suppressed in memory.

Could be that, too. I have a great relationship with both my parents though so I doubt it's PTSD in my particular case. Or at the very least I've had great support in subconsciously dealing with it, if anything. But still, yes!

I would not think that, no.

Makes sense, if I don't remember it. But maybe it was just a calm separation.
