What secret did your parents keep from you? (both)

A secret which was only revealed to you many years later?
When I applied for my Birth Certificate I found out that I had two brothers who died in childbirth in the late 50's
It was never mentioned at all.

My mom hid many of her medical difficulties and conditions from us.

@SW-User Stoicism was a trait of Mothers of her era

Some things are too painful to talk about.
There's nothing - unless it's still undiscovered 😲

@SW-User Let's hope there are no dark secrets to be revealed. Not every family has dark secrets

I was a twin but the only survivor.
Only found that out ten years ago !
Gusman · 61-69, M
@Picklebobble2 How did you feel about that?
Picklebobble2 · 61-69, M
@Gusman Kinda sad. Kinda annoyed. Started wondering if my folks reactions and responses to me over the years were rooted in sadness or regret or even anger !

And if the signs of that were there and i just never picked up on them.....because i didn't know !
Gusman · 61-69, M
@Picklebobble2 We can not pick up on possible clues if we have absolutely no idea of the past.

Where do I begin, there are some that are best left unsaid though.
Gusman · 61-69, M
@SW-User Sure. Only came across our family secret after my parents were dead.
SW-User
@Gusman oh dude, that’s even more brutal to go through. Sorry to hear bud 🤗
SW-User
what really happened to my uncle
SW-User
@Gusman I found out after my grandparents died.

@SW-User Hanged?
SW-User
@GerOttman It's not something I think I should talk about, but it wasn't anything he did, it was something done to him
GerOttman · 70-79, M
If there was such a secret, they hid it well and took it to the grave with them.
Gusman · 61-69, M
@GerOttman As did my Parents. I only applied for my birth Certificate after both parents were dead.

A half brother.
Gusman · 61-69, M
@SweetMae Have you been, or will you be united with him?
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Gusman No. I doubt I ever meet him. He was adopted.
