I have a dilemma. I found out something about my dead grandpa, regarding my mom, from my granny the other day, so...

should I let my mom know about it? which might change her opinion a little bit about her beloved father. or should I just not say anything and leave the past be the past, since he's dead anyway, to leave her with a good memory of him.

Don't say anything.
Your mother won't thank you for it.

I found out stuff while researching my family tree that my only surviving auntie does not know about her parents.
I haven't shared it publicly as I don't think it my place to tell her. I have discussed it with her daughter and we decided it woukdnt benefit her to find out such a fact. X

@RubySoo Thank you. I'll probably just never speak of it. ANd hopefully forget.

@Dan193 obviously I don't know what the issue is. I wonder why your grandmother decided to confide in you? I wonder if she's carried it a long time and decided to unburden herself....or....did she feel it important you should know? Did you know your grandfather? Did you have good memories of him?

Feel free to message me if you want to discuss things further Dan. 🤗

@RubySoo He died before I was born. Tbh I find it difficult to call him that, since I never knew him. But it was said in a convo/story she was telling me. I visit her often, since she's alone. I go, just so she could have somebody to talk to from time to time.
