Scenario

When siblings remember family history differently and don't know what to tell the next generation

My sister and I are the only ones left who remember what really happened when our grandfather lost his business, and we've realized we've been telling our kids completely different stories about it. She remembers him as a victim of circumstances, I remember him making choices that hurt people. Now our kids are asking questions and we don't know how to handle the fact that we lived through the same thing but carry completely different versions of it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who witnessed the same events have constructed entirely different narratives about what happened and what it means.
