Ah yes, and I think probably they would be surprised to find that these secrets make them just another human being trying to keep their head above water. At least that’s a saying my mother used. She didn’t have any secrets I ever found but in my dad’s family, quite a few. Nothing horrible, no one murdered anyone, but there was a sister who was running away from an abusive husband. Questions I had when a child came with answers after adulthood.
The Bag Lady 
Glad you got the answers in adulthood!
