No One Can Ever Know: People Share The Secrets They'll Take To The Grave
People are not always who they appear to be on the surface. Some might seem completely average and ordinary, while secretly harboring deep, dark secrets that no one would ever suspect of them. And in some cases, their secrets can be so deep and so dark that they will almost certainly go their entire lives without ever telling a soul—with the exception of some anonymous strangers on the internet, that is. Discover the secrets these Redditors intend to take to their graves.
1. Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire
My secret is that my father burned down our childhood home for the insurance money. He took me along as his alibi, so that I could “verify” that he wasn't anywhere near the location when it happened. I was only 13 years old at the time.
I remember crying so hard knowing that all of my clothes, books, photos, and everything I owned would be destroyed. I wasn't allowed to save anything because he told me it would have looked too suspicious.
I found out years later that he blamed the whole thing on me. He told the fire chief (plus all of our friends and family) that the fire had started because I had been secretly smoking in my bedroom. I've never smoked in my life!
2. Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Equally
My secret is that my mother is cheating on my father and my father is cheating on my mother. Neither of them knows about what the other is doing.
They both know that I know about their own behaviors, as they each separately made me promise not to tell the other parent. Parents can be messed up sometimes…
3. In for a Penny, In for a Pound
My secret is that my dad bribed my mom with a small sum of $1,500 for full custody of my youngest sibling when we were kids. Not only would this be a massive blow to my sibling's self-esteem if she ever found out, but my dad remarried quite quickly and his new wife is the very definition of an evil step-mom. I don’t think that my sibling could live with the knowledge that her real mom gave her up for next to nothing and the trade-off was more than five years of torment. Her ego would be destroyed.

4. All Pooped Out
My deepest, darkest secret is that when I was a kid, I used to regularly poop in a tire in our garden because I was scared of getting locked in the bathroom if I used the toilet.
