These were the jaw - dropping revelations that were too shocking for them to keep to themselves .

Sometimes, you think you know everything about your family, and then bam, out of nowhere, a family member shares some information with you that completely changes all that.

And sometimes, that family member only shares that information when they’re very ill or on their deathbed. So, what I want to know is: What’s the wildest thing you learned about your family or a family member when someone was on their deathbed?

Maybe you found out that your beloved grandmother, who you thought was a saint of a woman, really hated one of her kids and tried to sabotage that kid every way they could.

Maybe you found out that your uncle had been secretly very, very rich the entire time you knew him and he made his wealth through running a Ponzi scheme.

Or, perhaps your grandfather had a wild affair with a movie star and he regretted never leaving your grandmother for her for the rest of his life.

Or, maybe your mother admitted that she had gone to jail when she was younger because she had helped rob a bank.
