14 True Stories That Could Hit Internet’s Front Page

My brother had an affair with one of my friend’s mums. She used to give him a lift to work when he was 18 years old. This went on for over six months. She ended up getting obsessed with him, and he blocked her on all social media and his phone, basically burying his head in the sand. Her husband is a huge, intimidating guy, and her son is a lifelong friend of mine.

None of them know. My brother only told me because she, seemingly, didn’t tell anyone. It’s pretty weird carrying such a heavy secret. © kicksjoysharkness / Reddit

Story 8: 

For illustrative purpose only

My grandmother allegedly had an affa:ir with her sister’s husband and ended up pregnant. She had the baby, left her with a family member, and a couple of weeks later, the baby di:ed.

I’ll never know what actually happened. When my grandma was still alive, I asked her about it directly. She didn’t give me a straight answer—she just danced around it. It would make sense, though, considering she and that sister had a very adversarial relationship. I was told this by their brother, who happened to be schizophrenic, so who knows what the truth is.

Story 10: 

I always knew I was adopted as an infant. When I was 26, I received an anonymous letter in the mail containing my original birth certificate and a card from my sister’s funeral. I grew up knowing her as a cousin.

It turns out my great-uncle adopted me. My “aunt” is actually my grandmother, and my mother is my “cousin.” When I was young, we often visited my (great-)grandparents, who lived about four hours away. My biological parents lived next to my grandparents—which meant I saw them regularly and played with my full brother and sister, but had no idea at the time. © lochnessie15 / Reddit
