Scenario

When siblings have conflicting childhood memories that affect family gatherings

My brother and I have completely different memories of our childhood and when we're together with our own kids, we keep contradicting each other about what our family was like. He remembers our dad as this warm, supportive guy and I remember him as distant and critical, and our kids are picking up on the tension.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Siblings are discovering that their foundational stories about who they are and where they came from don't align, creating fractures in their shared family narrative.
