“No one in my family knows there was a time I was pregnant.
I had made an appointment to terminate the pregnancy but had a miscarriage instead.
We were using birth control, but it (obviously) failed.
I never wanted children, so it worked out for the best.”

“I was molested by my older brother regularly growing up.
My parents know he’s a pedophile, as he later got arrested and imprisoned for downloading child pornography.
My mum asked if he had ever done anything to me.
I saw how hard it was for her to ask that question, and said no.
She’ll never know.”

“I got a DUI in 2016, in the upward slope of my alcohol addiction.
Still didnt stop me from drinking (at that time).
Im supposed to be ‘the smart one/good head on her shoulders/etc.’
and it would kill my grandfather if he knew.
Got it taken care of, did my time, and got sober.
Sober 3 years 22 days and I NEVER want to go back.
Congrats to anybody else who is sober!
Anyone who slipped: you got this.
Im proud of you!”

“I went to jail inLas Vegas.
35, Canada

“My brother molested me when we were teenagers.
I thought they would believe him since they thought my brothers could do no wrong.
I wish I had been a confident enough person to tell him to go to hell.
I alluded to it in my mother’s last years but wouldn’t tell her.
I told her she should trust me that I had a good reason why I hated him.

“I was raped by a former colleague/mentor.
I never told my father out of fear that it would break his heart.”

“When I was about 14 years old, I sold a weekly paper (The Grit).
If my customers didnt buy all my papers Id go down to the grocery store and hawk them there.
One day an older male teen wanted to tell me a secret but I couldnt tell anyone.
I widened my eyes and said ‘But I tell my mom everything.
; Strangely enough, after that he didnt attempt to tell me anything.
Ironically, I did tell my mom everything but I never told her about this.

“I have a 5-year-old daughter.”

14.
“I grew up thinking that I was conceived using artificial insemination and a surrogate mom.
I was told this sorry my whole life, including how they used a turkey baster.
Turns out the artificial insemination hadn’t been working, so they took a break from it.
My mom then told me I can never tell my dad that I know about this.
She said it would crush him.
