Two readers have suggested that the reason some question the accuracy of family posts is that most people would never, ever post such stories. Either out of fear of familial backlash or just plain shame, they would keep the skeletons locked tightly. This makes sense. And since I don't have to worry about familial backlash—what, are they doing to slander me more?—or identify with their insanities and inanities—see "dissociative break," below—it also makes sense that I would feel comfortable with the posts. They ain't my skeletons.
Hell, I finally found a use for these people. Print it! Print it!
