The Family Secrets That You Keep. The Family Secrets That You Tell. UT/wSun.

Every family has some stuff going on that stays within the family.  Some things have to come out.

This is bigger than recipes for cakes, pies and other foods that we cook and keep secret.

There are other, more important secrets that come out and can divide a family.

Things like who's father is who's real dad.

Things like people marrying within the family. Sometimes that's not even a secret.

Things like who has been touched, inappropriately, molested, raped, or propositioned.

Things like the real reason that someone dies, or was killed.

Things like who was really in love with whom and for how long.

How do you decide which family secrets should come out and when would be the time to do it?

When is family business everybody's business?
