Thanks so much, Gloria. As you can imagine. this is not an easy story to write. I loved my mother and wouldn't want to hurt her, but I've found so many people who have experienced some kind of parent surprise that I feel my story could help others. I hope so anyway! Thanks always!
Oh my. Secrets and no one left to answer them. Heart wrenching. I do hope we hear what exactly the secret was. Your story makes me what to write down my own secret story concerning my mom and an older half sister whose family contacted me a few years ago. No one knows the story of my half sister's existence and life. She is now mentally challenged and does not know her story either. She is the spitting image of my mom.
Oh, I hope you do! I believe that’s it’s important for stories to get told so that we can live into who we truly are. It has to be your story to tell, though, so, if you choose to write it, write about how knowing what you know has impacted your life.
Thank you, Gail! That means a lot. It’s a hard and complex story to tell but it’s been calling me to write it for a long time. I appreciate your support!
Annette, I love the writing about your mom they’re full of suspense and secrets and love. It’s had to be hard
At times, wondering why things were different. Can’t wait to see what happens in story.4

Generational trauma is real...
Yes, it is! Most of the time, we don’t even know it’s present!
Great writing Annette!!! Powerful. I honor all that you have been through and for your Mom too.
