As someone who has studied and practiced family therapy for 37 years, I am repeatedly struck by a secret’s impact on a family. With the best intentions, parents often strive to protect a child from a shameful or painful event that happened in the past. But keeping a secret usually has the opposite effect. It can take a toll on bearers and their families for years, even generations.
- Was Carol's Mother Secretly a Kree Soldier? Yes, it may sound crazy taken out of context, but if Annette Bening's role is intended to be small, but significant, then the reveal of Carol's part-Kree lineage may actually be the most straightforward answer.
- Summary: A twist on themes from a Christmas Carol and It’s a Wonderful Life. Although characters such as George Bailey and Scrooge have ventured to the past, present, and future to learn life lessons, the angel Gabby teaches Bailey that the past and future are rather complicated. And, sometimes, hindsight is not always 20/20.
And he stuck to his word. If you looked at Caine’s menacing, imposing performance in isolation, you would never know there was a Muppet within 100 miles. And yet, in hindsight, there is more to Caine’s words than immediately meets the eye. For the Muppets are not just pieces of felt, held up by wood and wire. It’s easy to feel knowledgeable about an event after it has happened. “Monday’s expert” will tell you all about how the weekend’s game was lost and how it should have been won. The best decisions or the real reasons seem obvious in retrospect. Hindsight, as they say, is 20/20. But what if it wasn’t? 'The Trip Home We Will Always Remember' by Carol Gearhart Getting to the destination is half the fun-and way more than half the trouble in a series of events laughable only in hindsight. Carol Gearhart was reared with treasured family stories, from short two-liners to long histories, continually retold at family gatherings.

One way a secret surfaces is via an “anniversary reaction,” a physical or emotional response to a calendar date. A study of Hurricane Katrina survivors shows a rise in depression, headaches, and stomachaches every August, the month of the 2005 tragedy. When recognized in a supportive social context of family and community, these symptoms tend to be of short duration. But anniversary reactions stirred by private events last longer. Their origins are harder to uncover and explain, and portend long-held family secrets the keeper finds too traumatic to reveal.
We each carry an inner calendar, just at the edge of awareness. Anniversary reactions might be experienced by the secret bearer or another family member. Either way a secret exacts a steep price on family relationships and individual identity. But just as I have been struck by the damage done by secrets, I have been repeatedly struck by the healing power of exposing them. It’s an insight that was impressed on me by two families in particular.

1. Carol
Several years ago, I worked with a family where the mother compulsively washed her hands several dozen times a day. I’ll call her Carol to protect her real identity. In her early 70s, Carol was a healthy and energetic woman who refused to leave the house, except for doctor’s visits. Her husband, Bill, complained of feeling like a prisoner. Grown children and grandchildren were exiled from her home. He and Carol had fruitless arguments centering on her hand washing. Her symptoms handicapped her life.
