How families navigate sharing difficult generational stories with children

My family can't agree on how much our kids should know about the difficult parts of our family's immigration story—some of us think they need the full truth to understand who they are, others worry it's too heavy, and we're all just avoiding the conversation while the kids ask more questions.
