Okay this cracked me up, imagine your family thinks your dead cause your elder refused to get hearing aids I can't 🤣

My wedding. It was a secret from everyone, because I was doing it to escape being sold by my father to a man I did not know to be forcibly bred and serve as a trophy for a businessman. The man I did choose has altered his life greatly to keep the marriage together and protect me from the psychological fallout. It was after that wedding that the entire family dynamic changed in my favor and destroyed my father’s well-constructed facade forever.

My brother was playing basketball in NYC. Our last name sounds common, but it is actually pretty rare. 1 letter off from a much more common name. His friends were calling him by his last name during the game. After the game, a player on the other team asked if that was his last name. Turned out it was his last name too. Long story short, it was our long lost 2nd cousin. My grandfather and his grandfather were brothers who never got along and never spoke to each other again after fighting at their mother's funeral.

Why did that last story make me both laugh and tear up

2:20 Kids: hey you should get a hearing aid. Grandpa: what?

Oh!! I have a plot twist. I went to a local museum in El Paso. It was "the magoffin house". So I'm with my classmates and I spot a very familiar picture. I point to it and say "what she doing here?" The tour guide explains this woman owned the biggest brothel in El Paso texas during the 40s. That picture was of my great grandma Petra.

This is a big reason why I don’t believe in random sex/one-night-stands. You never know who may be related to you. I’ve seen it happen more than once 😬 Aunt Vita was buried alive 😭😭

woah, just imagine seeing numbers as colours and seeing them going every where fast

Story 1. The OP must either be young or dense af. I bet the aunt is the actual mother. When she spoke up and used that specific tone the grandma changed her mind about letting the cat outta the bag. I've heard too many of these stories to think grandma was confused/having false memories on her death bed. She was trying to clear her conscience.

The final two stories were Epic ! The scratches on the inside of the casket made me cringe pretty bad and the 3,50 story made me smile from ear to ear !

My friend has always had a long running joke about having an estranged brother, but recently he found out through 23 and me he actually does have a half-brother his family didn't know existed LOL.

“Mom I’m pregnant” “YOU HAVE AN UNKNOWN SIBLING!”

Imagine if your last words were “imma need about tree fiddy.”

Oh the story about the person finding out their *mum* was actually their gran really hit home, I was 13 when I found out the same thing....my birth mother was 15 when I was born, and I was told to keep it to secret, as she didn't want to have to tell her other kids, I'm 45 now, and it's been out in the open for about 19 years, I still call my gran mum, and my aunts and uncles are still my sisters and brothers, but I also class all her kids as my sisters and brothers, tho only really close to one of them....I am civil to my birth mother, but we don't really have much of a relationship, I've tried over the years, but I finally gave up as she wasn't willing to make an effort, and still refuses to tell me who my father is

Plot twist: Turns out my mum wasn't lying to me about my husband having a whole secret family. That was a bad day. LOL

The greatest plot twist in my life is finding out that my grandfather (father of my mother) who passed away more than 20 years ago, made more than FIVE families with other woman. We have only found about the five (three in the city I live and the other 2 in other cities) but there could be way more. Apparently, he called the firstborn son with his name so we all get suspicious when someone tells us the name.

I had a “oh shit” moment when I found my birth certificate and saw a Latino name for my dad but my mom assured me he wasn’t my dad then I eventually met my real dad who was white. It just overwhelmed me because I legitimately needed to know if I had Spanish heritage cause I was about to be mad af if I was missing out on a whole culture my whole life.

Omg so I found my birth certificate. Looked at the dates and relIzed I was nameless for 3 days 😂 confronted my mom and apparently I was just “baby”

"well, that's karma." WHAT?? how is working a job with the dead and eventually being an assistant to an executioner, not even the one who did the executions, karma??? rude as hell. it's irony, at the very least.

Story 14 happened to me except it was a picture of my cousin holding my half sister as a baby. And my dad was all like “that’s your half sister __ you didn’t know about her” like bro what ofc I don’t you didn’t tell me 😂😭

For me, the twist came when my now late father discovered his biological mother's identity when I was fifteen. He was adopted in the fifties, and the adoptive father passed away when I was six in 1996 the adoptive mother had started to decline significantly when I was around fifteen, so 2005. He'd known that he'd been adopted because I think one or both of his adoptive parents were sterile, so the twist was all the similarities when we met the surviving family and noticed their names. First up, I was supposed to have a little brother, but either a miscarriage or a late-term abortion happened due to a severe heart defect and his name would have been Zachery, and the weirdest part was the fact that Dad had ended up getting a younger biological half-sister who also had a son, named Zachery, and was even just SIX DAYS older than me. Second, Dad's adoptive dad's name was Soloman (yes, he was adopted by a Jewish family, Ashkenazi, which originated from the northern shores of Europe if anyone wants to know) AND his biological mother had another younger brother with the same name (also a Jewish family, this time Safardic, which comes from Europe's Mediterranean coast and is probably the primary denomination in Israel). Dad also had a cousin, one of his best friends growing up named David, and yet again, his biological mother had yet another little brother with the same name. Finally, my dad's given name, first and middle, was Robert Michael, and his biological mother had tried to name him Michael, but I'm not sure if she tried to assign a middle name. As it turned out, my biological grandmother had ended up having Dad when she would have been seventeen. Her family forced her to put the baby (my dad) up for adoption, requesting that he get placed with a Jewish family. Luckily, the adoption agent either honored that request or just so happened to pick such a couple on the far side of the state Dad was born in. After that, she went NC with her parents as soon as she was able to move out, reconnecting with her siblings as they reached the age of majority, and introducing them to the daughter she was allowed to keep. By the way, if any ex-boyfriends of Colleen Halfon who would have been dating her in 1954, around Seattle, Washington are reading this, hi Grandpa.

I know a pale, blonde girl. Her parents married each other twice and everybody assumed she was an affair kid. The mom always swore she didn't have an affair. When the genetic tests got much cheaper a couple years back her mom insisted on taking one for her and her dad (who thought it was stupid as, even though he raised her as his own, always assumed she wasn't his) and...well, blonde white girl really is the child of two pretty dark hispanic people. Genetics can be weird.

The greatest plot twist in my life was finding out that my former classmate (who i used to have a crush on) was legally my cousin (not blood related).

Bob missed the perfect opportunity to respond with "But I am MUAHAHAHAHAHHA"

Story 21 blew me away Pregnant at 13 that's absolutely Insane to me. In America that's the age of the average 7th grader. So thinking someone that young can have that happen to them is unbelievable

Here’s a happy story: My friends and I are musical theater majors, and on the night of our first showcase my mom sees her second-cousin in the audience and the second-cousin texts her daughter (my friend) that we’re third-cousins. It was like the season finale of the semester.

My mum dated a guy who's mother had had an affair which resulted in a child. A few years later the parents split up and the mother married her lover and they had another child. The sibling grew up thinking that his mother's ex husband was his dad. According to my mum the older siblings knew who the real father was but kept it a secret from their younger siblings and their dads. It all unraveled when the younger sibling were in their teens. One dad lost a child, one dad gained a child, sibling dynamics shifted... It must've been a shit storm.

It was discovered that when a great uncle of mine died, he had been working for the C.I.A.

When I was 11 my grandmother became my legal guardian throughout the various court proceedings I found out the woman I was always led to believe was my mother was actually my step mother and my biological mother had sent me to live with my father because she was already taking care of my sister by herself had had recently been diagnosed with cancer fast forward 11 years my grandmother plans to have me and my biological mother meet for the first time since I was very young. She died from her cancer within the week, four months later I was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor… I’m 25 now and in complete remission

This isn’t a plot twist, but the stories brought up these memories. My grandma was in hospice at my ant’s place and I dropped everything to be there. It wasn’t really responsible, I was in college in another state, but this woman had been a mother to me my whole life. I was depressed, but I would play my guitar for her and sing, hoping it would make her, and me, feel better. Her daughter, my ant, left for her son’s wedding, after several months of my grandmother hanging on to life, and encouraging her to go. Turns out, I think, she didn’t want her daughter to see her pass, my family has a culture of not showing weakness. I’m playing guitar for her by her bedside in a dark room, because the light hurt her eyes. I don’t remember the name of the song right now, but the lyrics go, “One day baby, we’ll be old, oh baby, we’ll be old and talk about the stories that we could have told.” For years I thought about how that song might have been too depressing, that she didn’t need to be reminded that she was old, but few minutes after that I held her hand as she passed away. I will always miss her. Edit: Song was One Day/Reckoning Song by Asaf Avidan and the Mojos.

I love the three-fiddy grandpa

Don't know if this qualifys. But went from working as a Correctional Officer in Texas and basically 2 back to back deployments too Iraq as an Infantryman with the Texas Army National Gaurd. To working at Disney World. Quite a change in my work inviroment. It was definitely an adjustment along with a, I dont think where in Kansas anymore Toto moment. But a good one lol.

That last story was funny and sad at the same time.

The one time discovering your aunt and mom are the same person doesn't have disgusting implications

my "friend" who i have been with for about 3-5 years i think and then after that in 2020 who just suddenly said i hate you

My grandmother isn't my grandmother. My mother was my grandmother's younger cousin who was adopted by my grandparents and raised as one of their children.

Parents in story 10: We do a little trolling.

my greatest plot twist was some immature high school drama of me and some girl both liking the same guy and one of us trying to get with him. this guy was a huge asshole. me and this “girl” have been together for almost 10 years now.

About 2 years ago my mom told me and my sister while we were at a resturaunt that she was adopted and our grandma wasn't actually biologically related to us. When I asked her why she never told me, she said "you didn't know?"

Around 2019 or 2021 my mom decided that it was time for me to know the truth that I'm adopted. We had a 5-8 hours car drive to a province where my mom was originally from and when we got there, she introduced me to my siblings.. She said how they're my sisters and brothers and I was so confused because they kept calling me that. Then she brought us to this little beach with like houses to rent and we rented one to talk. My mom then revealed that the lady who was with us in that hut is my biological mom and the little girl with us was my little sister. Now that's not all.. Appearantly I was given to my mom because my biological mom was really sick and couldn't take care of me. My biological dad had just went through a divorce because he and my biological mom were having an affair with each other! For years, even until now, I still blame myself for everything.. No matter how long it's been, I'm still haunted by that feeling.. I know that I'm lucky to even be adopted but honestly there's so much more that happened and yeah.. Lovely plot twist!

"It was at that time when I noticed that it wasn't my grandpa, but the goddamn Loch Ness monster!"

i try to tell this in english as good as i can. an personal plot twist that annoys me to this day is how my mom and grandma did hide everything about my father from me when growing up and what they told me about him. my parents divorced back when i was only 2 years old and i was raised by my mother and grandmother (or rather by myself to be real, but thats a different story). they both always told me that he doesnt care about me, he´s an asshole and they really dont know where he is, they also never showed me pictures of him, because they destroyed them all. back as an child i just accepted what those two women told me. but then when i was 13 we got noticed that he died from cancer and than i realised a few things. suddenly both of them (mom and grandma) knew exactly where he was living (this was back in 2007 when smartphones wherent a thing or atleast not mainstream and they also got no navi, they really just knew exactly where he was living all the time) and when we went visiting this place, wich wasnt THAT far away, only like an hour car ride. there also was his wallet laying around, i picked it up because i was just curious if there was still money inside it to be honest and as soon as i opened it, i realised THE GUY THAT APPERANTLY DIDNT CARE ABOUT ME had an child picture of me that he would see everytime he opened his wallet, all that time, everyday. it was the same picture of me we had sitting in the living room, so it was definetly me. that also was the first time i found out how he looked like, cause there where also a few other pictures with baby me and him, in this very tiny flat. i still love my mom and we are good but grandma was an absolute control freak/psycho that also kinda ruined my childhood (different stories) and even though there also where a few good moments with her, i am not so sad about the fact she now passed away a few years ago to be honest. to this day i still dont know what was true about my father and what not... if he really was an asshole to my mother or if they just both wherent that great to each other. i just know that i could have met him all this time... he wasnt that far away... and he clearly had never forgotten about me...

Luke. I am not your father. IM YOUR MOTHER!

Half a decade ago, my parents finally launched the last of their kids out of the house post college. So time for some nice, quiet home life, right? Wrong. Since then, they have had 3 different families live with them temporarily, my brother sold his house and moved in with them while my dad builds a multi-generational home, and my parents took guardianship of a teenager. I'm about to have my firstborn and just got a new sibling. Was not expecting that!

There's school tomorrow and here I am in the middle of night 10:15 pm watching this thinking I would get bored listening to and fall asleep 💀

And that's when he realized his grandpa was a giant crustacean from the paleolithic era.

Found out on my 21st birth day that my mother, someone who's taken care of me for 20 years, didn't want me at all, I found a old journal in a closet and read it, I regret finding out cause when she's all happy and smiles, I can't only think that she doesn't love me

My brother and I were randomly told that we have an older half sister. I told my mom, who had no clue. I brought it up once and nobody remembers it

That last one Tjats how I wanna go out.

Me and my family found out my sister is actually my half-sister when I was 16 and she was 12. My mom got exposed for cheating on my dad and they've had a pretty strained relationship ever since.

I love your videos and I subscribe and like all of them

1:33 Either OP is the favorite grandchild. Or Gramps left them some money or something.

I got a couple, both involving my dad. I’ll start with the depressing one first. My dad developed diabetes and they wanted to rule out pancreatic cancer. Going through the testing, they were able to rule that out. Sigh of relief! Month later, they did more testing a jk it’s totally pancreatic cancer :( Second story: many years ago, my brother was bored and started googling our last name, which isn’t very common, even in my dad’s country. He finds a picture of a headstone with a Josephine (our last name) in Colorado. My dad, up until this point, thought he was the first and only family member to have emigrated to the United States. He and my mom tried to figure out who this woman was. The most they could find out was that she had been married to someone with that name; not clear who he was, when he emigrated, or if we have other family out there.

So what is the karma in aunt veda's story(31)?? I mean, they didn't mention her doing something bad for her being buried alive to be a karma, right

In my multimedia class there was this one girl in our class who was a dits, airhead and even a bit of a clown. I wondered why she was even there at the start because she seemed so uninterested in actually working. Fast forward to the end of the course, and she was one of the best workers there and was the only person on our course to get a job straight after related to our studies! Granted it was partly because someone else in our group became a photographer and thought putting a good word in for her would get him a date but still... In another timeline where I had my own shit together more I might have at least tried to date her.

One day as a 13 year old I looked at my birth certificate and saw a name I didn't expect to see, which is not the person I've been known to be my biological father my whole life but I convinced myself that he changed his name because he went to prison and the only reason I know that is because as a kid I looked up his name and saw his headshot and name under it. So for years I convinced myself that my step dad changed his name to get with my mom so that if he looked his name up it wouldn't show up that he went to prison. Nope, turns out he's just not my biological father and my biological father gave up his custody of me at a young age and I found this out after I asked my mom if she knew about Dad's name change because I kind of thought she should know, I didn't think he was a bad person or anything just was wondering. I asked this while I was in drug rehabilitation. From ages 13 to 16 I was convinced my step dad was some bad ass ex prison criminal lmao. The best part in my opinion is one day I asked my step dad about the prison sentence and he asked who told me and I said no one I just looked up your name and saw it, he doesn't believe that at all, in fact he still doesn't lol. Also 10 years clean next May 🤘.

Absolutely amazing video

9:45 I have the same thing, but the colors only appear when it's names or words

When I was 6, my father, who could be one of 4 ways while drunk (either sarcastic, which he usually was anyway, he'd just straight-up pass out, he'd scream or he'd be emotional.) This time it was the last of the 4. In 1988, he was telling me and my then 8-year old sister how much he loved us, and that he wished that the brother of ours that he mom had given up for adoption 2 years before my sister was born could be growing up with us. My sister immediately said "well, can we get him back?" Keep in mind, she was only 8. Fast-forward to early 1998, when we were living with our grandparents, my sister is over at Mom's place, and our brother's adopted mother contacts Mom saying that he wanted to meet. Thank God for the timing, because less than 8 years later, he passes away.

When I was in elementary school, my mother sat me down and informed me that my father had a child he just found out about. I did not believe her until dad confirmed. My half brother John (fake name) was 19 at the time we found out. Dad's girlfriend at the time never told him she was pregnant. Dad is trying to help him when he gets the chance, but unfortunately John is in and out of prison and has issues with addiction. He occasionally calls or sends money and has mentioned that he wants to help him when he gets released in 2024

Not me but my aunt. Nanny slept with my grandpa because her husband was infertile then quit the job when she started to show so my grandpa wouldn't find out (the husband knew and approved of it). Then for like 25 they kept that secret but then the husband died tragically and my aunt was crushed about losing her father so her mother decided to tell her he wasn't her biological father. Grandpa insisted on a paternity test which was such a waste of money cause my aunt looks like a female version of him😅 but yeah 25 years of thinking someone else was her bio father.

I have another story: My dad was born out of wedlock and my grandma went out of town to give birth. She left him in a orphanage and went back home. Months later her parents got a letter from a bank about an account in the name of a child with my grandma's name listed as the mother. They confronted her and convinced her and my grandpa to get married and go get my dad from the orphanage. My grandpa's family knew nothing about my dad until after they had picked him up. My dad was blissfully unaware until he was in his 60's. I will never know how all the aunts, uncles, grandparents, neighbors and the local priest all managed to keep quiet. My grandma is still ashamed and avoids talking about it to this day. I found out when I was doing a school project about unwed mothers during the 1900s and asked her if she could give me any insight. Holy shit, I did not expect what she told me. The person she has opened up to the most is my mum who has done a bit of detective work to try to figure out where my dad was born and lived his first year. My parents visited the town and found the place where the maternity home had been located and even a midwife who had worked there. My grandma doesn't know that they went there.

My plottwist have to be my grandparents from my dad's side As a kid there was always an old man who always went to my house to visit my family and sometimes talked to me on the streets or when i was shopping, he was a good friend of my family Years after his death i happened to casually heard my mom talking to another woman and accidentally discovered that this man was my grandpa... and who was that woman she was talking to? my grandma... the grandma that "died many years ago before i was born". Later i discovered that she wasn't dead, she just abandoned her family when their kids (my dad and aunts) weren't even 5 yrs old and never returned until very recently (40 years later or so) I forgot if i was watching tv or talking on the phone, but what i do remember is that i immediately felt paralyzed by the shock and remained still like a damn doll totally unaware of the entire world for quite a while, if someone told me i passed away and wake up a few minutes later i would believe them

I have a odd one. I was doing family genealogy because it’s fun to me to find out family stories and where we came from sometimes. But anyway, I was going through some of the stuff I found with my mother. Confirming some of my finds on my own. And me being a big geek/ superhero nerd I half joked about possibly being distantly real to Chris Pratt (because my dad has cousins with the last name Pratt back home and it’s a kinda uncommon last name). That’s when she suddenly said “well you are atleast the cousin to Superman”. I honestly froze and asked her to explain. That’s when she said “Oh didn’t I tell you? I know I told all your brothers and your son.” I asked her to please explain and that’s when I found out her cousin on her mom’s side was Christopher Reeves. The original movie Superman and she had actually met him one time before he passed. I’m still in disbelief.

Story 31: Holy HELL that is morbid. So that aunt was an assistant for a hangman who hung people. Then when the family wanted the grave moved, the lid fell open, showing scratch marks, meaning she was buried alive. Oh and then you hear “Well, that’s karma”

My biggest one was when I found out my dad did drugs for 4 years before he got hit by a car just before Christmas

13:47 WhAt ThE HaCk

Have a really sad one. My ex had a grandfather and uncle that had passed away in a car accident. She was talking to me about them and decided to look up the obituary cause she didn't know a ton about them since she was a few years old when they died. When she read the obituary however, she learned what actually happened. Her uncle was taking care of her sick grandfather and he developed severe depression. He wound up driving his father out in to the middle of nowhere and killed him. He shot himself afterwards. She called her folks who immediately broke the truth. They had lied when she was young cause they didn't want her to have to go through something like that. She was torn up for a while

I always breathed through the mouth, i didnt know why, but it felt much better then the nose, well turns out my nose isnt straight and doesnt work right

A lot of these make me relate to story, not of a plot twist but just somethin. The storys where their grandparents and them become friends before dying. Mine is sad. I once had a choice to visit my great grandpa or I could wait another month or say. I decided to wait. 2 weeks after he had passes. I didnt get to say goodbye. I didnt get to say I loved him. It was so sad. Now I have so much guilt the burdens me over that. The point is dont take your loved ones for granted

I love Amanda Jack and am I a genius they are great and I both subscribe to both of the channels and good luck in your I hope you have a great year

7:10 6 my grandfather ain't no snitch

Among all people around me, my schoolmates both from high school and college, people I met from the same communities I had involved myself into, a huge numbers of other individuals I met from my ex-boyfriends, ex-friends, current man and friends and family members, among all my cousins about my age, the most envious person of all behind a lie that destroyed our family unity is my godfather who watched my grew since I was a baby and he was college at the time, the godfather who had different girlfriends yearly and I’m a nephew who has her own goals not even touching their lives he chose to envy me it’s actually him who’s behind the big lie that ruined my reputation back then.

One of my cousins doesn't know who his father is. Breaking news ... i do. He looks exactly like him and i meet him when i was 3 to 4. It make sense why one of my aunts was pregnant out of the sudden and i was tell to not tell anything about his dad at all. Turns out he abuse my aunt and he was part of a community who was known for been very misogynistic at the time (this was in 1992).

Ironically, I’m actually playing the same game he’s playing while listening to this

You are the greatest KZfaqr

Story 21 apparently happens often. Believe it or not there was a Disney Channel show with a similar premise.

The last one was as my favorite

I guess grandma in #1 was going to explain #21 but decided not to do it

When I was 17 or 18 my dad discovered he has a secret half brother

So, instead of of helping the woman quit drugs, they are telling her to lie and continue to ruin her life? What a family they are ...

The last one was so cute

Personal story: I lived the first 18 years of my life as a hardcover, homophobic, transphobic, Christian. Plot twist at 25 I'm trans

Story 21 is LITERALLY book 11 of Wings of Fire.

2 years ago. I had done a 23andme mostly for fun. I was not expecting someone to message me saying his results matched us as cousins, and could we talk? Turns out his dad is my dad's younger brother (#3 of kokums 11 kids) who was kidnapped by the government in canadas 60s scoop where they took kids out of indigenous families and placed them with white ones. Our family had been told he was adopted in Australia. His family was told his mother was a s*x worker who died giving birth to him. Both were obviously lies. He grew up 40 miles away from his mother's reservation, then moved to Calgary where my cousin was born and grew up. I lived my whole life a 3 hour road trip from my dad's missing brother, and never knew. The 4 oldest (my dad, cousin's dad and their oldest brother and immediate younger brother, all from same dad) met for the first time 2 weeks ago. It was surreal but amazing.

You are a great KZfaq

My mother was adopted, we have always been aware of this. In recent years after doing some digging it's looking like my mother was adopted from another branch of the family, and that she was the product of an affair, and her birth mother adopted her out to some relatives who couldn't have their own children. Everybody from that generation is dead now, so we're not even sure if this is true or who my biological grandmother was.

13:05 are you Jack Nicholson?

My mom has breast implants and lied about not having them because she didn’t want to encourage me doing the same. It’s not that big of a plot twist, but I’d always wonder why our chests looked so different.

Wait, isn't story 21 similar the plot of a Disney Channel show from like 2019

I met this dude at a party in high school and we ended up becoming friends after hanging out for a while. One day i came home to my apartment to see him there laying on the couch in a very suggestive way. I was extremely startled when he said “wanna fuck?”. Turns out they were a girl this whole time and they disguised as a boy so they could make friends. We have been dating for the past 4 months now.

Story 21 reminds me of Andie Mac

13:05 I kid you not this is a plot for a Disney show. I actually watched when I was like six or seven I think it’s called Andy Mack (or something like that)

At 18, I found out that my mom is really my step mom and had wanted to adopt me but that my birth giver wouldn’t let her. *my birth giver told me she wanted to ab*rt me*

Me and my dad were looking through pictures of when he built the house, now I already knew he had been married before he met my mom, but when we get to the end of the scrap book theirs this kid who looks to be in his mid teens and holding what I presume to be a Nintendo controller ( mind you this is in like 2002) and I ask who it is and he just flips the page and says nothing, I think it might be a half brother I don’t know about or one of my cousins when they were younger or one of his friends kids, but if it is half brother I hope to meet him. If I find out I’ll update the comment

I was at the concert of my favorite singer. From my country. I wanted a picture with her but was to shy to ask. So my friend brought her to me for a picture. 🙈

Story 21: Oh god- sounds like the start of a MyStory Animated video

my plot twist moment: when I was 13, I needed my Social Security card for some forms at school. I knew the metal file box my Grandma kept the important papers in and didn't want to bother her. So I went to get my card when I saw a folder with my father's name on it (note: my father had died 10 years prior). In the folder were my father's birth certificate, his baptismal record, and his eighth drage diploma. All of these documents had my grandmother's maiden name as my father's last name. And there was no one listed as the father on his birth certificate. I kept quiet about it at the moment. A couple of days later I went to my aunt's house (my father's sister) and told her what I found. She sighed, and said "I told her she couldn't keep this a secret." That was when my aunt told me the man who I thought was my grandfather was not. My grandmother had my father then met my step-grandfather two years later. All of a sudden it all clicked. Why my grandfather hated me, never wanted to do activities with me, bought Christmas and birthday presents for all the cousins and not me (my aunt tried to substitute but I knew her handwriting and told her to just stop when I was 10). I asked my aunt if my father and step-grandfather were at odds before he died. My aunt told me my step-grandfather insisted either my dad took his name or he was kicked out of the house. My dad was 13, my age, at the time. They never got alone, always fighting and my father was treated like a second-class citizen. On my dad's 18th birthday, my step-grandfather threw him out on the streets. The next day he also found out his girlfriend was pregnant with me. They married at the courthouse but couldn't afford to get his name changed. By the time my father was able to afford to change his name, he was killed by a drunk driver. Which is why I still have that bastard of a step-grandfather's surname. And I will probably never know who my true grandfather was. My Grandma would never discuss it and took that knowledge to her grave.
