35 People Share The Darkest, Most Mind-Blowing Secret They Know About Someone But Can Never Tell, Until Now

#1. andrew_wiles

19-year-old guy I know was gang raped in 5th grade by a group of boys in his class. They somehow convinced him that it was cool and he became part of their special club who did all sorts of things on one another for months before he finally broke down and told his camp counselor from the summer.

My friend's son believes his father and stepfather both had heart attacks and died around the same time. In reality, his real father was molesting him and his stepfather went to his house and shot him in the head and then committed suicide. It was all over the news and I always hope for his sake that he never Googles his fathers or step fathers names. To this day, he wants to be a heart surgeon so that no one else he loves will die of heart attacks.

#3. Madock345

One of my friends growing up told me his biological father was in prison. I later Googled his fathers name and found out he went to prison for producing and distributing child pornography I'm pretty sure it was made with my friend and his siblings.

#4. keeok

I know a girl who is living in Oregon waiting for her stepfather to get out of jail so that they can get married. He's in jail for having a relationship with a minor (her).

#5. loveyours

My parents are cheating on each other. They both don't know. My mom accidentally texted me a dirty message that wasn't meant for me, and made me promise not to say anything to my dad. I had to use my dad's phone a couple of weeks later when my phone died, and he got an inappropriate text from someone that wasn't my mom, he made me promise not to tell my mom. I've been keeping this secret for 2 and a half years now, it's torturous.

#6. NamenRoodles

A friend of mine is the product of rape. He told me this one night when we were pretty drunk. He said his father told him after him and his mom got divorced, pretty much a fuck you, you aren't my son type thing. Pretty shitty

#7. wakaba

Husband and wife both cheating with some husband and wife. I'm a friend of both couples. All four confided in me. If there's one thing I'm proud of, it's my poker face when I'm with all of them. Another confession I should make to you internet strangers Husband 1 bribed me to pretend I went out with him on a road trip, when in fact Husband 1 and Wife 2 went on an overnight stay at a certain hotel. I didn't know about the details until it was over.

#8. Divotus

My friends Dad and his friend's gang raped a girl back in high school. My friend doesn't even know.

#9. pozor

I know a guy who is the son of his uncle. His grandparents would not let his 15-year-old mom have an abortion after her older brother raped her. The guy is a little off in the head, but I don't know if it's because he's like hillbilly nobility or not. I also don't know who he thinks his father is, but I know he doesn't know the truth.

#10. TheUltimateThrow

A friend of mine tried to kill himself multiple times, but to no avail until the last attempt. A mutual friend of ours did the job with a bullet.

#11. warwatch

My ex-husband is a child molester. He touched my niece when she was 7-8 years old, and she confided in me around age 11. I did tell her parents, who decided not to press charges "because it would be too hard on her." Personally I think that is a bullshit, cop out response because they just want to sweep it under the rug. I spoke to the police, but as I'm not a guardian or teacher, they can press no charges on my word.

I approached him about it and he straight faced admitted to it. I have emails from him where he admits to and attempts to justify it. I want to scream from every mountaintop here so that everyone can know what monster hides behind that friendly face, but I can't. All I can do is tell my niece I'm sorry I brought him into her life, and that any help she needs, I will move heaven and earth to get it.

#12. FurlingsAreReal

My best friends father isn't her real father. The guy she's dating right now is her biological brother (different mother). They're getting married next year.

#13. clever_username7

I know that one of my married teachers used to prostitute herself for extra money and conceived a child from it. I haven't told anyone because it was the real father of the baby who told me and her poor husband has thought himself the father for almost 4 years now.

#14. showmeyourtips

A very good friend of mine was sexually abused by her father. Her parents are still together, but I don't think her mother knows about it. Anytime I see her parents, he still gives off these incredibly weird sexual vibes, it's very unsettling.

#15. Ginger-Giant

A woman I dated, turned to me one day out of nowhere and said, "My brother used to rape me." She went on to tell me that when she lived on her grandparent's farm as a child. One of her older brothers insisted on sexual activities, she hid most of the time from him. She used to have a group of cats she took care of. One day he found her in the barn with some of the cats. He picked up one of the kittens, and twisted its neck shut, dropped it and looked at her. He did it to 2 more till she gave in.

After a long talk about how fucked up life can be, she was a new person. I am still haunted by it sometimes.

#16. AcornWeevil

My mother and I knew my dad was seeing someone else, we even followed him to the bars he went to and saw the woman he was meeting. We had planned to leave my dad but my mother died before any of that could happen. I now live with my dad and that woman I saw in the bar.

#17. zedzol

I was the first person she told, and I'm sure the last. A friend of mine and her little sister were raped for years on end by their elder brother. They lived in the outskirts of the city. When their parents finally found out, through intervention of the school counselor, the brother was reported to the police, and was deported from the country. Never to be seen again. I hope he rots in a ditch somewhere, because those two girls, are just to precious too be hurt like that. One of them, the elder sister, doesn't even smile anymore.

#18. codyknowsnot

She drowned her dog when she was a kid. Said she didn't know what she was doing, and just held him under the water to see what was happening. He was an old dog and didn't put up much of a fight.

She is surprisingly a very nice person now.

#19. Kongo204

She tried to kill her father.

#20. theCHAMPdotcom

Will get buried, but my best friend sent a text one Saturday when he was wasted saying, "I am sorry" I sped to his house to find him with the garage closed and car on. He was looking for a hose. I stopped him and made him stay with me the rest of the night.

#21. failedidealist

An Ex girlfriend of mine was repeatedly raped and sexually humiliated by her older brother from the ages of 8-13. Her family knew it was going on and ignored it, until she tried to kill herself. Their solution was to send her away for 3 months, and then pretend it never happened after she returned.

Knowing this, and having to see him at all their family functions was hard, came very close to beating the shit out of him many times (he was an utter bastard for many other reasons too).

#22. strwbryshortck3

My friend ate a dead person.

#23. MuchthrowawayUgh

My dad's hard drive crashed. He was extremely distraught because he thought he had lost pictures of his granddaughter being born, and my grandmother's last visit before her death.

I decided to surprise him for his birthday by doing my best to recover his pictures. But for whatever reason, the recovery program I used couldn't just pull files from My Docs. It had to scan the entire drive for a single file type.

Queue me having to dig through thousands of pictures of EXTREMEEEE BDSM. I'm not talking about just latex and whips, but punching and bleeding and blood and ugh.

#24. Applebuddha

Well my darkest is basically my whole ex girlfriend's life. She was molested by her grandfather and if she told she was burned with cigars. (I found this out because I asked why she's afraid of fire.) Her mother and father were meth cookers and I'm guessing users and crack heads and cooked while she was a baby. She was an avid heroin user with her ex girlfriend they also smoked that fake weed shit. She also threatened to kill herself a lot and refused help from anyone me and a couple of her friends knew about her suicidal tendencies and her cutting problem. And well that's pretty much my darkest secret and it'll probably kill her.

#25. liberaljedi

My wife's cousin got knocked up during a drug-fueled gangbang. She had no idea who half the guys were and obviously no idea who the father was. Her parents took the baby and have raised him as their own, telling him he was their late in life oopsy-baby. He's now 12 and still thinks his mom is his sister and his grandparents are his parents.

#26. cassieloveseffie

My mother killed my grandfather. He didn't have long left anyway and was in the care of my mum who is a former nurse. She gave him a morphine overdose because she couldn't bare his suffering. My Grand Mother doesn't know.

#27. CaterpillarCrunch

My friend's grandpa was murdered by the Kray twins. She knows he died before she was born, but not how.

#28. GreenGlassDrgn

He thinks his dad got thrown out of the country when he was little because of some obscure visa issue. What he doesn't know is that the village he grew up in collectively decided more or less consciously that this was the story he'd be told, when in fact his daddy got thrown out for being an international drug dealer. The village has a reputation to keep, after all.

#29. packos130

One of my friend's parents is in jail for a crime they almost definitely did not commit.

#30. nixeon_dead

I barely remember it but I think one of my cousins molested me. It doesn't affect me in any way and I'm never going to bring it up.

#31. coffeecakecat

I deliberately got close to girl in order to manipulate her to stop my bullies.

We were in high school, I was bullied and she's influential. So I was extremely nice to her, made her laugh, shared my problems etc in hopes that she would stand up for me. I later grew to really like her (as a friend) and dropped my manipulation. We became really close.

10 years on we're still best of friends and I don't think she'll forgive me if she knew. :(

#32. Esmerelda7

A friend wanted to collect the money due her. So she and a few other girl friends went to the man's house and knocked on his door demanding the money owed to be paid. The man refused to pay so much yelling and threats followed, the girls left. Neighbors called the police due to all the commotion and when police came to investigate the complaint they knocked on the door of the man, he opened with a gun in his hand and the police shot him. Dead. My friend is still riddled with grief years later.

#33. Thropping

A friend of mine's uncle tried to rape her at a family wedding (she was a teenager at the time). Her mother went to said uncle and told him to get help or she would go to the police, and tell the rest of the family. He went home and blew his brains out with a shotgun. Everyone, and I mean everyone in the locality believes he died in an accident while cleaning it.

#34. Cei1119

My best friend almost tried to kill herself when she was 14. I only know because I happened to call her right before she went through with it to ask if she wanted to hang out. She sounded upset on the phone so I asked if she was alright. After she said yes, I said, "okay, love you!" and we hung up. The concern in my voice and the fact that I told her I loved her somehow made her change her mind. She didn't tell me until 3 years ago and we're 24 now.

#35. not0your0nerd

When my mother found out I had been raped, she started crying and telling me about what happened to her. She had been sent to her grandparent's house every summer starting in 8th grade. While she was there, every night her grandfather would rape her. She would beg to come home, and the next year beg to not go back, but she never told anyone why and so she always had to go. When he died she was the only one not in tears, and after everyone left she said she spat on his grave. She made me promise never to tell her mother.
