Abstract

This autoethnography contests notions that family secrets and lies are always disruptive to family cohesion by exploring how secrets and lies hold a family together. Drawing from shared memories, I address my siblings directly to reveal our experiences of navigating our parents’ secrets and lies from each other that contributed to our own adoption of such practices. The story shows how we eventually found better ways to support our parents and one another into adulthood by learning to “own the lies” and not eschew them. Owning the lies means knowing each of our love debts to one another and to the social worlds we inhabit beyond the family dynamic.

承认谎言
这本自传式民族志通过探索秘密和谎言如何维系一个家庭,挑战了家庭秘密和谎言总是破坏家庭凝聚力的观念。从共同的记忆中,我直接向我的兄弟姐妹们讲述了我们从彼此那里了解父母的秘密和谎言的经历,这些经历促成了我们自己采取这种做法。这个故事告诉我们,我们最终是如何找到更好的方法来支持我们的父母,并通过学会“承认谎言”而不是逃避谎言来支持彼此长大成人的。拥有谎言意味着了解我们对彼此的爱债,以及我们在家庭动态之外所居住的社会世界的爱债。
