A secret which you only found out many years later?

Sorry to hear that, big guy... My mom had twins die at childbirth before me but she only mentioned it once. \: ANYWAY!! My mom kept quite a doozy from her kids... Her dad sexually molested her AND her sister when they were young but never told us... Kinda screwed me up not gonna lie since me and my sisters were around him a lot so anything could've happened.... But, grandfather died about 8 years before she told us so.. Eh, can't really get mad about it now I guess... Still kinda messed up though...
