15 People Who Kept Secrets Under Wraps Their Whole Life…Only For The Beans To Spill After Their Death

15.

“Finding out my uncle had a secret child wasn’t a big shock. In fact, that was not really surprising when I think about it. The shock came in finding all this out after both my mother’s parents died, where we learned that my grandparents played a major part in concealing this fact from my mom. Worse, when we found out that my uncle had been seeing two women and got both women pregnant at the same time, it was my grandparents who chose which woman he would marry… for their own selfish reasons.”

“They chose the woman who was the nurse to be his wife because they wanted her to take care of them when they got older. Then, they forbid all contact with the other woman, and hence, my uncle’s daughter grew up without a father. He went off to have three children with the ‘approved’ wife. After finding all this out, my mom reached out to her exiled niece, and now she’s the cousin I’m closest with. I haven’t spoken to my uncle or his ‘accepted’ family in over 25 years. He shunned his own firstborn, and my grandparents allowed it to happen. I loved my grandparents, but their actions really tarnished their image for me.”
