This is another story of insight into your family dynamic that opened my eyes to a similar revelation about mine. I think I should try to w write up a few of those revelations to share. My mother told stories about her family constantly. I was forty before I finally realized they were fictions. Some to make her feel better, some to manipulate us to not believe what we experienced.
This must have knocked you off your feet, as it would anyone. But the fact of your continued insightful writing and sharing thoughts are reassuring that it all goes into the tool box instead of destroying an exceptional life.
I owe Tim so much for his honesty. He took several trips with me and each one was revelatory. I was also able to visit his family home in Elk River to return the favor.
I would like that very much. We'll see what my agent can do about that. And yes, Tim could see things no one else could. He was 9th of 13 children and was raised in a complex system!

Your stories deserve the continuity of being bound together in a book. I recall another story of yours that featured Tim. Very insightful friend.
