Uncle’s Drunk Secret
By —u/oliveotherraindeer: During Christmas dinner at my grandmother’s house, an awkward incident occurred. My uncle, who had consumed too much alcohol, made a comment about having been involved romantically with my mother in the past. It wasn’t until a few months later, when two DNA tests were conducted that it became clear that he is, in fact, my sister’s biological father. This revelation caused a rift between my father and his brother, leading to their complete lack of communication thereafter. As expected, the strained relationship between my parents eventually led to their divorce.
Coping with this situation required me to undergo extensive therapy and rely on chocolate as a source of comfort.
Incest ran in the family
By u/s-mutagenic: When I was 8 years old, my father passed away. Then, when I was around 15, there came a day when there was a sudden knock at our front door. I answered it and found a young Asian man around my age asking for my mother. She joined us at the door while I stepped back into the living room. From there, I overheard her telling him to leave in a blunt manner before slamming the door shut. At that time, my mother refused to discuss who he was or what had happened between them. I only learned the truth about my father’s secret family in Macau when I reached my twenties.
My mother finally opened up and told me that he had been involved in an extramarital affair during his time there. That young man was genetically my young brother. He visited us with the intention of connecting with our family.
