Scenario

When siblings disagree about family history research after a parent's death

My brother and I are going through our late father's papers and journals to understand why he was so distant, but every document we find seems to confirm different theories about what shaped him. We're starting to argue about Dad's motivations and character, and I'm worried we're using this research to fight old sibling battles instead of actually learning.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The search for understanding becomes a battlefield for competing narratives and unresolved grief.
