Scenario

When siblings have incompatible memories of childhood

My brother and I are trying to piece together what really happened in our family growing up, but our memories are so different it's like we lived in completely different houses. We're both committed to understanding the truth but starting to realize that might be impossible.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who shared the same formative experiences have developed irreconcilable versions of their past, forcing them to confront the impossibility of objective family history.
