Your Secret Is That You're Secretly The Mother Of This Kid

Family secrets are just a crazy thing in general. People will take that sh*t to the grave with them. But what happens if you find out that your uncle had a son with down syndrome that he gave up for adoption and your dad made you promise not to reveal to his three other sons/your cousins about this brother they never knew about until all your uncles are dead. Even though the woman who adopted the son with down syndrome is dying and wants him to know who his biological father is. Is it fair to keep that secret from your cousins or is it better to keep it a secret to prevent a potential family unraveling? Having a sister with special needs and a grandmother with her own family secrets, my mom and I have a lot of thoughts and advice to share on this episode of Mommy Issues.
