It's a hard read, but my extensive history with family health issues bears this out.

The modern term "cognitive dissonance" - which we once just called denialism - is showing itself to be an extraordinarily powerful psychological mechanism. Modern examples ignoring basic cause & effect defy belief. Sadly I've also learned it's a rock that eventually rolls back on you ... and the longer it takes, the bigger it gets. As does the trail of damage.
