I had a friend who was adopted. When she was about 15 her adoptive parents let her know why she was adopted.

It was because when she was still an infant her father killed her mother then proceeded to take his own life.

I’m positive that because of this she ultimately committed suicide by jumping in front of a train a couple months later.

My daughter is not my biological daughter. She is currently only 2yo, so the time has not come to tell her yet. I dread it as I consider her to be my child and I love her with all of my heart.

My parents waited until I was 20 to tell me that my grandpa molested me when I was 4 years old. I’m adopted and my mom suspects he felt like it was ok since I wasn’t “family.” They only told me because he was about to die. He couldn’t talk but I confronted him about it. You could see from the sadness in his eyes it was true. I never received an apology. I am now almost 30.

Not sure if it would ruin her, but I once killed my daughter’s hamster…she was at her grandma’s house overnight and I decided to air out her room while she was gone. I opened her window, but forgot to close it, unfortunately, this was during a Canadian winter…I replaced the hamster just in time, she never noticed, but I still feel bad about it years later
