Story 1:
\nWhen I was 8, my mom di:ed suddenly. Many years later, I found old records from when she stayed in a psychiatric hospital for depression. In the notes, I discovered a disturbing detail\u2014so disturbing that it made me question everything: the therapist mentioned that my mother never wanted to talk about me\u2014not even once. She had never even acknowledged my presence.<\/p>\n
After some time and persistence from the therapist, my mother confessed that she didn\u2019t want me and that it was my father who insisted I be born. When I was two months old, she took me and left me in front of a hospital on a cold winter night. Luckily, my father found me and brought me back.<\/p>\n
I always knew my mother was cold towards me, but I had always assumed the reason was other problems in her life. It turns out I was the reason for her depression. I wish I had never found those old records.<\/p>\n

Story 3:
\nI found out that my ex had an affa:ir with his brother\u2019s wife, breaking up their marriage and making every family event\u2026 weird. I was the only one who didn\u2019t know\u2014for six years. They were all so secretive and strange until I finally figured it out. \u00a9 prettysoitworks \/ Reddit<\/p>\n

Story 5:
\nWe were living together, and I was pregnant. He pretended to go to work for months. He often had money on him, so I never questioned it. Come to find out, when I went to buy a house in my name only because he had terrible credit, there was a credit card in my name that I knew nothing about. He had been taking money from the card in place of a paycheck! Needless to say, I dumped him. He never paid any support to his daughter, and he died a few years later.

Story 7:
\nThe first time an ex of mine and I got into a big fight was when I didn\u2019t come to see her and celebrate the day she was accepted to an Ivy League university. She had been talking about it for months, made a huge deal when she got in, and was angry that I didn\u2019t rush right over.<\/p>\n
I found out a few months later that she had not applied to Yale or any other colleges. It turns out she was a pathological liar and had made up countless other things throughout our relationship. \u00a9 Unknown author \/ Reddit<\/p>\n

Story 12:
\nMy mom showed signs of Multiple Sclerosis at age 30. I discovered that my dad quickly opened a life insurance policy on her without her knowing. Sad. Maybe smart, but still sad.

Story 13:
\nI found out that my dad paid his brother to break into my mum\u2019s house when they divorced. He wonders why our relationship hasn\u2019t been the same since, but I just can\u2019t bring myself to tell him the reason why or that I know all about it.
