I was told. almost everyone knew before she did. only reason she found out was when she finally applied for a passport and had to scrounge up a birth certificate. everybody thought she already knew.

It's Saturday, I've had terrible sleep all week (when I've been able to sleep that is), and my brain is fried: so what? What??

My sister’s best friend growing up found out her older sister was really her mom, it was wild.

omg there are way too many stories like this. That happened in an episode of Law & Order too.

That's my mom's story as well.

My parents told me that they would try to adopt my kid if I tried to put her up for adoption, so it could have happened to me too. I’m glad I kept her but it’s definitely not a good memory to look back on.

.... found out her older sister was really her mom....
That same thing happened to Jack Nicholson. I think he found out in his 20s. Says it messed him up & he never got over it.

Ummmmmmmmm how does that work?? My brain can’t make sense of this it keeps shutting down when I try to do the math lol (like literally 🫣😂)

Weird!! Maybe a glitch on the site! I mean I guess adoption could have also made her her own niece too. I’m def hung over so that is why my brain was failing me. That must have been a shock to learn.
