That she can’t have a relationship with her grandfather because he’s a pedophile and I would never trust him. The rest of my family maintains a relationship with him and leans on me hard to open up communication because “family comes first.” They are absolutely right, my family does come first, which is why my daughter won’t ever have to have a relationship with him.

Adoptive parent of three kids two of which are biological siblings and cousins. Found out a year after the adoption that the biological parents were half-siblings who shared the same dad. The bio parents found out after they had the first child and proceeded to have another. The kids are now 16 and 13 respectively and have zero clue that they are a product of incest. Unfortunately, their biological grandpa just passed away, so there very well could be a big reveal coming in the near future.

That I’ve been changing every clock in the house on New Year’s Eve to 3 hours early. At 9pm we celebrate the new year, then hang out for an hour. He thinks he breaking every rule and has a great time. Now that he’s turning 11 this will never happen again. With phones and being somewhat smarter. Lol.

I’m hiding alot of things- I used to be a stripper for 10 years, growing up in an abusive house, I partied hard and used to be part of NYC & Montreal club scene, that I was kidnapped and taken to another country. There’s alot of things… Now I’m just a boring accountant mom to everyone. No one has any clue what I’ve been through. Crazy what your kids don’t know about you.

My dad cheated on my mother while she was going through cancer treatments. My mother asked for a divorce, he said go and take the kids. Every Valentine’s Day I would receive flowers from my dad and get so happy. My mom would smile and nod and get excited with me. I would call him and thank him. He never sent me flowers. It was my mom all the years. Same thing with birthday cards and Christmas gifts from him. They were never from him, my mom just put his name on them in similar handwriting. Went as far as writing return addresses on mail too. My mom was a superhero of a single parent.

My whole family thinks I’m awful with money because I’m super broke despite having a good job but I’m actually socking away every spare penny to put my niece through college and to take care of my parents when they can’t work anymore. -
