Scenario

When families avoid discussing painful shared history

Our family never talks about the fact that my dad was an alcoholic when we were kids, but now that he's been sober for ten years and we're all adults, the silence around it feels heavy. My siblings and I have different relationships with him and different feelings about the past, and I think it's affecting how we all connect now.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

People bound by love and memory are discovering that what isn't named still shapes everything.
