Yeah, those are simples. Anytime your awareness leaves you but you appear to be conscious, i.e. "the lights are on, but nobody's home," those are CPs. SPs are also referred to as "auras," or warnings/intros to larger szs, such as grand mals (or a term I
hate, "tonic-clonic"). They can occur alone or before larger szs.
Your family is probably unaware that these are szs themselves. Getting some lit from EFA might help. You can write them at
www.efa.org.
Good luck...
