“45 Shocking Family Secrets Revealed: Prepare to Be Astounded by What Lies Beneath!”
Hell, I am positively mortified hearing about all these stories in here. Mine is a bit light one. I am from a very conservative country, and arranged marriages were the norm here, until a generation ago. Mine uncle’s marriage was the first love marriage in our family, and it happened after a lot of persuasions with the Elders. Long before that, my uncle once took me to see his gf in the McDonalds. I was hardly 5, and I remembered the woman as a tall amiable one, who gave me her burgers to eat. As we were going away, I told uncle that I am gonna tell mother how fine this lady was. (We lived in a joint family.) Uncle was terrified. He said there is no haste, and made me promise to never tell again. They married next year.
21 years from then, and they are still married with a boy and a girl.
Tl:Dr; I met my future aunt, before the rest of the family even knew she existed.
My grandpa had an entire secret family.
Even named his mistress’s kids the same exact names as my mom and her brothers. No one knew until his funeral, they all think I was too young to remember (8ish 9ish) but I do
Edit: funny part is, I remember the secret kids and my mom + her siblings all getting drunk together later that night too.
I discovered that my mom had a secret husband (she divorced him) that no one knew about. I do the family history research for my family, and I discovered it by accident. I asked her about it discreetly, and she begged me not to tell anyone–said not even my dad or brother knew. She died in 2003, and I still haven’t, or won’t, tell a soul.
That my grandfather cheated on my grandma with her best friend! Karma did him dirty, the “best friend” took his money when they divorced.
That my father cheated on my mother when she was pregnant with me! (My father is the son of the cheating grandpa btw)
Such a f****d up family.
That my uncle (deceased) was a registered sex offender. I was never introduced to him and my dad (His brother) would never speak about him. I was told he passed away, and the excuse of “You never met him!) was the reason I couldn’t go to his funeral yet my parents have dragged me to peoples funeral that I never knee’s funeral. They weren’t even related to me. Got suspicious and searched my uncles name up on one of those sex offender lists and his name came up + his face. Turns out he was caught touching a 3 year old child at a park a few weeks before I was born. Scary. My parents were probably just protecting me.
Back when i was 14, my father got blackout drunk and told me that he and my mother nearly had me aborted. She was 15 when i was conceived, and both of them were growing up in poverty. At the appointment for the procedure, they decided against it and kept me, knowing that they were both throwing away better chances at a good life in adulthood.
He doesn’t remember telling me, i am certain of it. I dealt with the emotional rollercoaster on my own instead of confronting them.
