Family Secrets

Every family has its secrets hidden in the dark corners of the past, the ones passed down from generation to generation never to be revealed to the outside world. Some are considered shameful, others fill the heart with dread, all them are secrets best kept within the family. Some do reveal themselves in the most astonishing ways, an innocent conversation and something never talked about is suddenly revealed. Something thought so shameful, means nothing anymore, but is never cast aside and someone wishes that earlier that secret should have been revealed. Many lives are turned upside down now and will never be the same. Now the shame is not in the secret, but in that, it was never revealed. 8 April 2011
