'I was out with a friend of mine, who ran into her dad...and his OTHER family.'

"When I was in college, my parents and two of my siblings were hit head-on by a drunk driver. Both of my parents ended up in the ICU. Thankfully, everyone eventually recovered. However, in a twist, the nurse assigned to my Dad in the ICU was the MOTHER OF THE DRUNK DRIVER.

She asked to be reassigned.""I was engaged to be married to a guy when I was only 20. We broke things off at 22, and I met my now-husband. Fast-forward 13 years. My husband works in construction, and we became very good friends with his foreman and his wife. We had kids the same age, shared some interests...except the wife was more than a little unhinged. She was really fascinated by everything I did. She constantly asked about my ideas on parenting, makeup, movies, housewifery, sex, etc. Then she started copying things my husband and I did. I told her about a fight my hubby and I had, then she and her husband had a similar fight right in front of us. My sons were long-haired little skater dudes, so her son grew his hair out. I went to see. She read the books I love, tattooed things I admired onto her skin, started to mimic my mannerisms, and even flirted a little too much with my husband. It started to bother me."One day, my husband came home from work and said he heard our friend's marriage was ending. I was curious, so I sent her a supportive email thinly disguising my curiosity.She started apologizing to me for betraying our friendship by sleeping with the man I loved. I hung up in fury, drove straight to my husband's workplace, and accused him. He was astonished. Then he was pissed and tried to deny it. Together, we crossed the job site and started in on the poor husband of this woman. The man was horrified that his wife had told me what had happened. I screamed at my husband and started to run away in hysterics. The foreman stopped me because he didn't understand why I was angry at my husband....Yep, she had become so obsessed with me that she tracked down my ex-fiance and seduced him.Now I hear she is on drugs, living in the high desert with a different guy that I also went to high school with." "I met my aunt on a dating website. My mother passed away when I was six. My mother's side was apparently unfriendly, so I didn't really meet a lot of the family on that side. Fast forward a decade and a half, and I signed up for a dating website. A 26-year-old woman who liked the way I looked messaged me. I went straight for it, and we messaged back and forth, talking about random jazz. Family came up, and she told me about her mother. Because I knew nothing about my grandma, nothing really registered." We then planned on meeting up for some wine and a stroll through the park. She called first to make sure I was normal, and we talked for a little while, again getting into the topic of family. I mentioned my siblings, and once I said the ages and my sister's disability, she asked whether my older sibling's name was "I'm pretty sure my grandfather was also involved with MI6. He was a colonel in the British Army, did a lot of work for the 'foreign office', and was a special advisor to Margaret Thatcher on Northern Ireland in the '80s." "Recently, I helped clean out my parents' basement. I found a box with a bunch of pictures in it, and went through them, reminiscing about how awesome my childhood was. Then I got to the last picture at the bottom. It was of my parents and some random chick that looked to be in her early twenties. The picture, judging by the hair, was taken mid-to-late eighties/early nineties. 'Hey Dad,' I called. 'What?' he yelled back from upstairs. 'Who is this in the picture?' I went upstairs to show him. He stared at it for a moment, blinked, and said, 'That is your half-sister, Andrea.'"I then discovered that he had been married when he was eighteen to a stripper from Vegas named Lorelei. They had been married for about a year before he realized she was a shopaholic, shoplifter, coke-dealer, heroin user, and was abusing their daughter. He got the fuck out and gave the child to his parents to raise because he was nineteen years old. My dad moved to Michigan to straighten out his life. He met my mom. They got married and had my brother and me. Andrea was still in Arizona, and Lorelei was in God-Knows-Where. My dad was ashamed of what he had done, and we were not close to his family. I have never met my grandparents on his side, nor anyone else in my extended family. We lived far away and could never afford to travel there. Three years ago, my Grandma on his side of the family died, and he flew out there for her funeral. Andrea was there and tried to get my dad to live with her because she is in a shit position in her life . We have found out that Lorelei is actually alive. I personally do not plan to contact her, but I want to contact Andrea." "I was best friends with a neighbor kid growing up; I had a major crush on him pretty much since I was old enough to walk. But it never seemed like he liked me back. We grew up, he started dating people, and I was jealous as fuck over it. I figured he just saw me as a little sister , and nothing would ever come of it, so I tried to put my feelings aside. Then, when he turned 16, his family moved out of state, and we lost contact. Fast forward a few years, and we reconnected online and started talking. He casually mentioned in a conversation about how"He told me that he even asked my mother for permission to ask me out, and she said no, so he never ended up doing it . My mind was blown. My entire childhood of pining after this guy — my first ever crush — felt like a lie. At this point, I'd long since put aside the feelings I had for him and kinda gotten over the crush, but I still felt a lot of residual nostalgia from being 15 and craving dick for the first time in my life. He was still into me, and I was debating whether I wanted to start something with him or not, mostly so I wouldn't have to live with theThen, suddenly, he stopped messaging me. I was confused because our talk had been going well, and I didn't think I'd done anything to make him ghost me. I messaged a mutual friend of ours and asked if she knew what was up, and"This happened to my boyfriend's subordinate in the army. Let's call the soldier Bob. Bob was deployed in Afghanistan and had a girlfriend at home who he had just had a baby with. The girlfriend and baby were back in the US, living with Bob's parents, while he was deployed. The girlfriend confessed to Bob one day over Skype that she had cheated on him. Turns out she was cheating on him with his dad." "While at a party about five years ago, I met a girl with whom I really clicked . I started talking about my boyfriend — but not by that title, by name. She told me she knew him and had actually been on a date with him recently, and that it was the most romantic date she'd ever been on. My boyfriend. Of a year." "Yes, we broke up shortly afterward. That girl ended up being one of my best friends. We are friends to this day." "My mother is good friends with my friend's mother , and one day his mother told my mother that the man we all believed to be his father wasn't really his father, and even he doesn't even know it, because she was officially dating him back then but was cheating on him with the biological father of the child. My friend's biological father ended up dying before the child was ever born , and so she raised the child as the son of the man whom she would go on to marry . TL;DR: My friend's biological dad is dead, and neither he nor his fake dad knows the truth." "I found out when my uncle was on his deathbed that he had a secret family with adult children. He was the classic drunk uncle who lived alone or just had a live-in girlfriend from time to time. He came to EVERY family function...nobody knew. Not his sisters, not even his mother. When we asked my uncle, he just said, 'Eh, it's not a big deal.'" "One of my cousins does not have the same father as her sisters. Their father found a handwritten note in which their mother wrote about her affair and the pregnancy, and then confronted her about it. They ended up staying married and are still married today. My parents found out and told me a few years ago . There are only five of us in the entire family who know: me, my parents, and the cousins' parents. The girl and her sisters have no idea." "The one guy I worked with was having a baby. He told me about his girlfriend, saying, 'She's amazing, she's the one for me.' I didn't know him very well, but as he talked about the pregnancy and I gave him encouraging words, we bonded a bit. His baby was going to be born right before Christmas, so he missed our work Christmas party because his baby was being born! We expected him to be gone on paternity leave, but he showed up a few days later. I feared the worst — that the baby had died. It turned out his girlfriend was lying about being pregnant to spend more time with him." "She showed him someone else's ultrasounds, they talked about what they would name their baby, how they'd handle taking care of it, all that shit. I don't know what she thought was gonna happen when nine months passed and no baby. I guess it's good she came clean, though. A more diabolical person would have faked a miscarriage or something. But that was seriously messed up. Shortly after the dude left, so I don't really know how he handled it." "When I was seven, I found my birth certificate in the basement of my childhood home. The name under 'Father' was not the man I'd believed to be my dad my entire life. I didn't tell anyone about it for years." "I'm 32 now, so it's an issue long resolved. I finally met my biological father about seven years ago. I haven't heard from the step-father since I turned 18, when he mailed me every picture of me that he had in his house. 'Daddy issues' doesn't even begin to cover it." "When I started school, I figured out that being raised by your grandparents wasn't normal. When I was a little older, I found out that my biological parents had given me to them. I was told that my biological mother was 'sick'. No one talked much about my biological father. I only started seeing my biological mother regularly when they divorced. Around ten or so, I was helping my mom with something, and it involved going through her lockbox of important papers. I found a paper pertaining to the custody case; it was dated two months after I was born. It turned out that my biological parents gave me up after a week; my biological father had wanted to throw me in a dumpster." Lucky for me, my biological mother called her mom, and I was not thrown in the trash. My dad had been at work while all this went down, so that day, he came home and found out there was an extra person there for the indefinite future. After my biological father changed his plan to put me in foster care, my grandparents filed for custody because the thought of not knowing where I was was literally nightmare-inducing. My biological dad popped up a couple of times when I was older, and the last time we were in contact, which was through email, he tried to claim that I had been kidnapped, which is dumb for so many reasons. We don't talk anymore, because he's the human equivalent of stepping on a Lego, and I already have a dad." "After my Dad passed away, my brother did our Ancestry line for fun. He found out we have a half-brother whom my father didn't acknowledge. He was married before my mom, which we also didn't know. We started a relationship with the half-brother and his family, and all was well for a while...until we realized he was a complete tool who constantly borrowed money, cussed everyone out when things didn't go his way, threatened suicide just to fuck with our heads, and just made our life miserable in general. I truly wish I had never met him." "I worked at a small company during the summers while I was in college. Two dudes who worked there had been best friends since high school, and Mike was getting married to his high school sweetheart. Nine months after the wedding, the girl had a baby. And it looked nothing like Mike but a lot like John. She revealed that she had sex with John on her wedding day before she actually got married.""My parents got divorced when I was five. I don't remember a lot of it, but I do remember constantly asking my mom where my dad went. She told me each time I asked that 'bad daddy has left us for good.' I asked my mom one time when I was eight, why my dad left us. My mom told me that my dad was always angry, so she gave him the option to 'get help or get out.' Upon hearing this and constantly being told that my dad was a 'bad daddy,' I cut all ties with my dad . I didn't speak to my dad at all for six years." "I can't remember what finally flipped in my head, but I reached out to my dad via email one day when I was 14. We got to talking, and I realized my dad wasn't all that awful. We talked more and more, and we built a new relationship. One day I was over at his house and we were having a semi-serious discussion about the divorce and why he left. I told him that, growing up, my mom kept telling us that she gave him the option of either 'get help or get out.'It turns out my mom actually went and got a court order to remove him from his own house . She lied to a judge, claiming he was abusive, had him removed from the house, and then promptly declared bankruptcy on all their shared assets, screwing my dad over financially for about 10 years after that." "I went to my brother's medical school graduation with my parents, only for us to find out he was never enrolled there in the first place. He'd been misleading us for four years straight. And it was one of the top medical schools in the country." "I was looking for my social security card in my parents' desk, and I found their marriage certificate. It was dated one year later than I thought, six months before I was born. All of a sudden, the years of thinking my mother resented being stuck home with kids, the terrible, resentful marriage they had; it all made sense." "I met a guy online. He was cool, and I found out he lived less than two hours away. We met up. It was the first time seeing each other's actual faces. We were fucking doppelgangers. It turned out his father was my biological father's older brother. Both our biological dads bailed before we were born. We both were sexually abused as kids by teachers . Both of us have soy allergies and Lysinuric Protein Intolerance . And both of us joined the army and failed out during BCT due to undiagnosed mental health issues. Our lives had run parallel to each other. He's only a year older than me." "My high school sweetheart's best friend let me know that my girlfriend cheated on me with multiple guys at a party. I broke things off with her that same day. It was a very nasty breakup. Years and years later, I got a message on Facebook from her best friend. She explained to me that my high school sweetheart never cheated on me; she just wanted to break us up so that she could have me for herself because I seemed like the 'perfect boyfriend.'" "Her plan backfired because I thought she was ugly inside and out, and as soon as I broke things off with my girlfriend, I wanted nothing to do with her. Between her plan failing and the guilt of ruining an otherwise great relationship, she decided to keep her mouth shut at the time. I don't know if she told her best friend, but I know that I never will." "A restaurant/bar I frequented had a serial killer working at it. I spoke to the man many times. I had normal conversations with him. He would say things like how he regretted not staying in school, and how he hiked most of the Appalachian Trail. In November 2019, he was shot dead while working; to this day, his killer is unknown. Then, two months later, it came out that he was linked to no fewer than three murders as well as a missing child case." "His affair partner was arrested and sentenced to 25 years for being an accessory. No one knows why he killed, or why he was shot dead at work. The police don't know whether or not the killer knew of his crimes. In 2022, the affair partner, as part of the plea agreement, led investigators to a remote wooded area where they found several bodies. The man had taken advantage of vulnerable women, killed them, and collected benefits on them. Some of these women were believed to have been dead for almost a decade, but they were so isolated that no one ever reported them missing. Additionally, the affair partner told investigators she helped bury bodies beneath the basement concrete in a house about 20 years prior, but could not recall where the house was or who it belonged to. That's even more unsettling." "I was telling a client about a guy I met where I spend my summers. A real piece of work who had a bad reputation in town because he was caught cheating on his wife more than once and flashed money around like he was rich. He blew all his money trying to develop some property, and now he was running out of businesses in town that would work with him. She asked his name. It was her fiancé. So now I'm on the phone with my client, who is crying because she was planning her wedding to a guy who had no money, but a wife. Did see that day coming. I'm too old for this drama." "I met this girl out at a bar. I got her name and number, and we agreed to meet up for lunch. We were chatting before ordering, and we got to talking about who I knew from her small hometown. I told her that she had the same last name as my cousins who live there, just spelled differently. She asked who, and I couldn't remember their first names, but knew the two youngest were twins. She said their names , and I said, 'YES, that's it!' She curled up in the smallest posture and said, 'I was married to X.' I let out a tremendous laugh and said, 'I thought you sort of looked familiar, you were at grandpa's funeral, right?' She said yes, and I smirked, saying, 'I thought you were cute then, too.'"Me: 'Hey, Mom.'Me: 'I just went on this date with this great girl. We had so much in common, blah blah blah, I don’t know if we’ll see each other again, though.'"My roommate in college's story: He dated an identical twin in high school. He was walking down the hall and spotted her. He jokingly went up and grabbed her in a big hug and grabbed her ass. She pushed him off, saying, 'I'M NOT , I'm .' He obviously felt bad and started apologizing, but then she was like, 'Just kidding, gotcha.' They kissed, and she walked away. Plot twist: it WAS Twin 2! They were pulling a switcheroo so she could cheat and take Twin 1's test for her! She ruined her cover right in front of the teacher, which is why she quickly said she was just kidding and even kissed him to prove it. His girlfriend thought it was pretty funny, though." "I had a manager at my high school job in fast food. She was overbearing, a micro manager, a suck-up to the GM, and a pain in the ass! She always walked around like hot shit because she was the youngest manager...like I give a shit. We've been happily married for nine years in December. We have two sons now." "My little brother hitchhikes a lot. He was trying to hitch to Valdez, Alaska, to run a half-marathon there before hitching to my parents' house near Fairbanks. He gets picked up near Seattle by a woman. They're chatting, and my brother is telling her the story of how he rode his bike from Alaska to Argentina. The woman says her neighbor's son had done the same thing. Turns out she was my parents' next-door neighbor." "I walked into a new job on my first day. I walked up to a guy and introduced myself. He said, 'No time to waste,' and assigned me a few weird tasks, and I started on them. I'd been working for an hour when my phone rang, and it was from the job that I had just started. I answered, and the guy on the phone said, 'You are aware today is your first day?' I said, 'Yes, I'm actually here. David gave me some stuff to do.' The guy on the phone said, 'Who's David?' Apparently, a complete stranger just started telling me what to do, and I didn't think twice about it. We had a pretty good laugh."
