What is the scandal in your family?

Dad cheated on mom... during a family vacation we were all together for. Sister and I mistakenly found out... and we just didn’t know what to do. Mom had a suspicion already and asked my sister what she thought. She told mom what she knew, and the shit... hit... the fan.

Mom confronted Dad and he went straight after us... it was a really rough time. For a long time. They stayed together and after some time it got swept under the rug, but not totally for me. We’re all on good terms but I’ll never forget how my dad attacked us. Was that moment where someone’s mask comes off for the first time in decades and you see something you can’t unsee. I know what’s possible. It makes me really sad. Even typing this now.
