20 Family Secrets People Discovered After Going Through Their Belongings

We like to believe that we know everything about our families and close friends, but the truth is, everyone has their little secrets. Yep, even the people we are closest with. Sometimes, these secrets are small, like cheating on a test in middle school. Other times, however, these secrets can be big… huge even. 

And it's not that they don't trust us, it's just that some things are hard to talk about. Everyone has their reasons for keeping things to themselves. Some are worried about being judged while others don't want to hurt those they care about. It's all about context and perspective, my friends. 

Speaking of secrets and context, I recently stumbled upon the juiciest Reddit thread where people shared all the family secrets they found after their passing. Some of these are so wild that it will make you question your own family and friends. Enjoy your scroll and feel free to add your experience in the comments below!
