Actually! I have good one!
I just moved from Washington state to Alabama for school and I drove (6 days, quite the adventure, blah blah blah) and I stopped in Birmingham on my grandmothers request to see her sister. I've never heard of this lady at this point, mind you. But my grandmother had 2 or 3 "dads" throughout her life and tons of half /full siblings so I didn't really think anything of it. Turns out (as her sister would tell me upon my arrival) her story was a bit different...
SO before my grandmother (Judy) was born her mother Edith and her mothers first husband bill had Dianne. Bill was in the army and was soon moved to Alabama from Washington. Due to circumstances that I don't know and will likely never know due to my grandmothers secrecy, bill left Edith behind. But he took Dianne with him. Without telling any of these plans to Edith, btw. So time passes, Edith marries a new man, has my grandmother eventually (and a few more kids) moves around, gets divorced, new man again, new kids, a whole lifetime. Literally. We're now about 50 years in the future okay? So Dianne is 50 something in 'Bama and her father bill dies. He died a nasty old man with enemies, one of which was his sitter in bama. She, against his wishes and out of spite, told 50+ year old Dianne that she had a mother that wasn't who she thought. That she had had a whole other life in Washington and still had a mother there that bill had kept TOTALLY secret. So Dianne calls this town her mother was last seen in and lucky for her, our town is small. LIke, really really small. And the judge in town happened to know exactly who she was. In fact, her mother had spent the last 50 years looking for her. So that year, she found out she had a mother, 6 siblings, and an old unknown life across the country.
This story blew my mind is probably the closest I'll ever be to knowing my grandmothers past. I wish I could break through with her but she doesn't seem to want to continue on the stories... I think this is a damn good one though.
TLDR; secret lives and small town scandal, just read it ya lazy fuck.
