Scenario

When family members have conflicting memories of shared history

My daughter asked me to write down family stories before I forget them, but I keep getting stuck on which version of events to record because my siblings and I remember everything differently. We all lived through the same childhood but we're carrying completely different family mythologies, and I don't know whose version our kids should inherit.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The stories we pass down as family history are never neutral recordings but active choices about which version of the past becomes the inherited truth.
