Series 4: The House of Cards: Growing Up in a Confusing Family

E73: Curiouser and Curiouser: When Your Childhood Memories Don’t Match Theirs

You remember the silence. The tension. The way it felt to walk on eggshells.

But when you bring it up, they say, “That’s not how it happened.”

In this episode of Wonderland Unlocked, we fall deep into the memory maze — exploring what happens when your version of childhood doesn’t align with your family’s. Whether it’s denial, selective memory, or rewriting history, the disconnect can feel gaslight-y, disorienting, and deeply lonely.

With help from Wonderland’s ever-shifting landscape, we’ll explore:

– Why families remember the same events so differently

– The emotional toll of being told your truth is “wrong”

– The role of trauma, survival, and narrative control

– How to honor your memories, even when they’re challenged

This episode is for anyone who’s ever said, “Was it really that bad?”

And for those still learning to trust their own version of the story.
