Yeah, quite seriously, so many people have parts of their childhoods they have to unwrite.
My character Kattar has to unwrite so much of what his mother taught him, because he's basically been raised to believe that men are by nature a waste of time, and it's only because she's made him her special project that he's not and he has to fight very hard to not fall into the category she places all other men in. Also that his emotions are a waste of time. He's basically never had a childhood for that reason because she refused to 'baby' him.
Meanwhile Alicia has been keeping parts of their childhood out of her little brother's knowledge to try to 'protect' him but those are the "white lies made of silence" that make everything worse.
