34 Massive Secrets People Kept From Their Parents That Range From Horrifying To Completely Heartbreaking

“My grandmothers (both of them) left me all their money, and since my grandmothers outlived my grandfathers, I get a set amount from two accounts per month to assist in living expenses. Technically, I am not the only one keeping this secret. My grandparents were ashamed of the way my parents treated me, and it was agreed upon by all parties (except my parents) that the money would be left to me due to my health issues and the fact my siblings (older) have more than enough money to help out my siblings (younger) if there is a need. My parents were told that there was nothing left after paying debts and funeral expenses.”
“I have my own will, which splits the money between my younger siblings if I die before it runs out, which is a good possibility considering the amount and the expected range of my life.
Side note: I finally learned today why my parents were always so cold to me. My mother was a surrogate, and after learning of my future health issues, the couple who are my biological donors backed out, not wanting a child with those issues. My mother is Catholic and, therefore, doesn’t believe in abortion, and she thinks that adoption is almost as wrong.”
