This E/N thread about a mysterious 19-year-old letter carrying a deep family secret http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3744453&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1 has me wondering: Have you ever received a bombshell about something that happened in your family's past? Or maybe they built up that there was a big dark secret and it turned out to be nothing, or something an older generation freaks out about but modern people don't? For me, it's kind of tame, but my father revealed that he had had a gay lover for ten years before he met and married my mom. It wasn't shocking for the usual reasons, the reason why it freaked me out was because he supposedly discovered he was gay while married to my mom and that was why he left. Now I know that it had to be for another reason, my wife and I suspect he just wanted to ghost on raising me (I was a difficult baby). TL:DR: Dad still gay, so... WHAT?!

symbolic posted:op needs to make a sequel thread where we vote on the most hosed-up skeletons. my vote goes to either the mercenary rascit grandpa or the family that reenacted part of flowers in the attic. How is it possible that these are getting more shocking? I've never seem that happen, usually these threads just dry up after a week or so. I thought flowers in the attic was going to be the peak, but then paid-people-to-rape family-members might have topped it Edit: unless "two of my great great grwmdma's kids were her grandkids" means what i think it does, in which case flowers in the attic is back on top Drunk Nerds fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Oct 12, 2015 |

One of my wife's first cousins is a strong liberal, who pissed off thebentire family by pretending to be staunchly conservative in order to get a job as the district attorney of a right wing county. There's been some schadenfreude recently, as one of the high profile mass shootings of the last few years happened in his county, so watching him have to be frequently interviewed on the news, and double down on "gun control isnt the solution," when we all know he disagrees with what he's saying has been pleasantly awkward to behold.
