a few months ago my dad told me that i was almost aborted because my parents didn't think they were financially ready for a kid. they went to the clinic but it closed 10 minutes before they arrived. the day after my dad got promoted and so yeah, here i am.

You're lucky, my parents got there in time and I was never born.

The woman I thought was my mother was my grandmother and the woman I thought was my sister was my great-grandmother.

I've never been told this, so all of my reasoning is purely speculative, but I think my mom had an abortion at some point, probably before I was born.

My parents were in their early 30s when they had me and my mom absolutely shuts down and becomes incredibly stressed whenever the topic of abortion comes up. Once, when I was very little, I read an anti-abortion bumper sticker in a parking lot aloud, having no idea what it actually meant, and my mom got really upset. That night, my dad told me to never talk to her about abortion ever again. Other incidents like this popped up throughout my childhood and adolescence. Despite my mom never actually coming out and condemning abortion despite being a Southern Baptist, it's a subject she clearly doesn't want to talk about for personal reasons.

It wouldn't devastate me or anything if it turned out that I'm right (I'm 99% certain that I am), but I've assumed that to be the family secret since I started putting the pieces together about 15 years ago.

Ehhh you probably don't want to delve into this.

My dad said he had a child with an unkown woman years ago, the only thing he'd tell me about him is that he's dumb as a post.

Wonder where he is now.

My Grandpa confessed on his deathbed that he posted on SA. He told me his username and I told him he was a loving awful poster.

And then he died.

My Grandad was always sad that someone stole his idea and shot JFK. He never really got over it and also he got AIDS from somewhere.
