'Sometimes, I really wish I could tell my family and make them see the harmful impact they've had on me, but part of me feels like they wouldn't even care, or treat me even worse. I don't know if I'll ever tell them.'
that they'll never share with their family members, and they range from juicy to tragic. Here are some of the secrets that prove family doesn't need to know everything:"I was a 'sugar baby.' I got paid money, clothing, handbags, and more in exchange for having relationships with older men. Not a soul knows this about me.""That I was in a cult. Not a Jonestown-level cult, but a small, high-control group that had a lot of cult-like aspects.
"Reflecting, I'm disturbed by the grooming and mental games I'd endured from a man twice my age. I regret not confiding in my parents. I know that if I told them about the situation today, it would absolutely crush them and make them look at me differently. This will forever be my secret, and one that has taken years of therapy to come to terms with.""I had a year-long affair with my former boss, who is also married. I regret it every single day.
"I'm doing much better and have accepted that I will probably never know what really happened. But if my parents knew, they wouldn't be able to cope, and I cannot put that heartbreak on them. They would blame themselves, and that is a guilt that's not theirs to carry. The fault lies solely on my cousin and, by extension, my aunt. I won't have my parents suffer for their actions.""I grew up in an extremely Catholic family.
