"My mom was in the hospital so I flew home. Me and my dad were hanging out getting drunk and he started telling me family secrets, almost like he was trying to get a reaction out of me. An uncle was molested, an estranged aunt might actually have a different father than we thought, etc... The one that really got me was when he revealed that he used to do coke. I was imagining he meant like in his 20s. I said "when did you stop?" and he said "I think you were about 19." Like fucking what man? My entire childhood? And he said yup. Did mom know? Yes. How much? About a gram a week. At first it was completely insane to me, but looking back it made a ton of stuff make way more sense. Crazy mood swings, explosive fights, one minute he would be fine and then suddenly he would be raving about something. I knew he drank so I always blamed the instability in the house on that. But finding out he was regularly doing coke all my life was both astounding and it made complete sense. "

"That my dad was a pedophile... had no clue, even through a decade of abuse. I was told to keep a secret, by him, and my family kept the secret from me because they had thoughts of him being better, or "reformed". So, when I was 15 I realized it was wrong, or, it all started to make sense. Who knew, as a child, you can't trust your own father? "

I'm a little late to the party, and its kinda a two stage situation here. When i was 5 my parents informed me i was adopted. Cool, i was a tough young but i coped and got over that, id rather have heard it then than when i was like 20. but at the time they never told me why. Turns out there were several things at play here. 1) Mother is a carrier of Muscular Dystrophy , her brother had the active version and didn't live a fun or long life. and she didnt want to pass that on. 2) Mother also had a histerectomy as a VERY young age. Somewhere in her late teens early 20's. Does not like to talk about it so im not quite sure when it was. 3) Parents are first cousins. Didn't find that one out right away either but it does make a whole bunch of sense. My parents are the black sheep of the family, Turns out that's the primary reason why. No one in the family approved.

When my grandmother lost her sense of boundaries I learned that someone hanged himself in an attempt at autoerotic asphyxiation, and I suspect that she paid for a relation's abortion.

A member of my mom's family stole a LOT of money from their employer. When they were eventually discovered and threatened with criminal charges, my grandfather bailed them out and paid back the employer. My grandpa was one of the most fiscally-conservative and money-smart people I know, but he struggled to support himself and his wife late in life. It never made any sense to me until I found out that a large portion of his assets had been mortgaged/loaned against to keep this person's record clean.

My family (I am the youngest of three) got a dog when I was super young that was very anti social and always wanted to break through the electric fence and run away. She always came back every night for food though. Wasn't til I was in college that my family revealed that she came from an abusive owner and was a rescue. RIP Sadie. You were a dingus but you were my/our dingus.

I have done my own research as I'm too afraid to ask my aunt or grandma, but as far as I can tell grandpa wasn't forced into early retirement because he stole someone's teapot, he was stocking up on guns.

When I was really young I never got why my Dad wouldn't allow drinks like Kool-Aid in the house especially if it was grape. Later in life I found out he was part of the cleanup crew for Jonestown. Edit: I didn't think it would get this much attention. I just thought it was weird that Dad was so against all the drinks you mixed up from a powder, not even the Country Time stuff. I could have them at a friend's place though.

My parents told me about my biological father when I was 16. My older sisters were always mean to me. Anytime I was praised for getting good grades or doing anything well, they would throw a fit. My biological father and two half sisters from him added me on Facebook. That's when my parents decided to tell me about them. My mom claims that my bio dad didn't want anything to do with me. He had offered to pay for my mom to have an abortion, but then refused to give up his rights until a paternity test was done. When he finally gave up his rights, my dad adopted me and I took his last name. My sisters would tell me about how he wasn't my real dad, so when my parents told me, I already knew. I had to act surprised so they wouldn't be upset.
