Scenario

When your deceased parent's writings reveal hurtful truths

I am editing my late father's memoir from files on his computer but I keep finding drafts where he writes honestly about how disappointed he was in me and I do not know whether to include them.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Posthumous honesty can force difficult reckonings with relationships that can no longer be repaired.
