Family secrets: a lot of families have them and a lot of people suffer because of them.
There are many reasons why people keep family secrets: sometimes a secret is withheld from other members of the family out of fear of the consequences, other times it is withheld to protect certain family members, in other instances a secret is buried out of shame. The reason why family secrets exist doesn't matter, we know that they are toxic for the family and can cause a lot of hurt, difficulties in communication and emotion expression.
If your family has a secret, ask yourself what impact it has on you and on other members of the family. Is it worth it?
