Tell us a secret that no one else knows?

Me...by the end of this year I will be divorced...DH has no idea!

I didnt have patchy alopecia when i was a child like my mum tells everyone. The patches of missing hair were caused by my stepdad violently dragging me around by my hair while beating me. Funny thing is she's told the lie to so many people she actually believes it now 😕

I know how I am going to die. I have had visions of it and am so sure that if the circumstances begin to arise I don't think I would bother to stop it.

I was groomed by my teacher at 15.
I was locked in a paedophiles house when I was 7, he kissed me but never did anything else because I threatened to jump out the window.
I spent most of my first pregnancy wishing I had terminated it and only didn't because her dad told everyone and I felt ashamed to admit I had terminated so went along with it. It caused horrendous post natal depression and I didn't bond or feel much for my daughter for about 2 years I just faked it all. I cried myself to sleep most nights, i hated being a young mum, I felt it took so much away from me. But luckily now we have a really good bond.
I can't get a handle on binge eating disorder, I eat until my chest hurts, until I'm sick, I've put on 3 stone in a year. My ankle is broken and you can see lots of bone prodding under my skin and it's been like it for about 7 weeks but I daren't bother anyone because I feel like I'm always at the doctor.

@margoskaftan the will states That the money isn’t her’s until she is 25. In fact the will will likely also have made provision for what happens to that money should she pass before she reaches 25.

Added to which,there is nothing wrong with adults learning to fend for themselves, IME many who know they’re expecting a trust won’t be sensible with money because they know there is more to come.

I was sexually assaulted at work by a client. Noone knows but occasionally I get an intense rage about it for no reason and I just want to shout what I am pissed off about. I had to leave after that.

I slept with my friends brother after a night out after she had been arrested.

I am seriously concerned about my drinking but am too scared to ask dr for help as last time they contacted social services. I'm just waiting for my youngest to turn 16 then I'll ask for help.

pissface I'm sorry you are suffering, please see a doctor about your ankle

@Katyy your post made me feel so so sad for you, what an awful thing. The failing wasn’t yours but a system which leaves a junior member of the team alone without appropriate support and supervision. Not your fault and I’m so sorry you live with that burden. An unnecessary death in a care setting is rarely the fault of an individual, but more commonly a whole chain reaction of failures 💐. Hope you can find peace and closure

Oh my! There are 4 Daves on my street..one is my DH!

The people that tell you how much they clean their house but won’t let you in the front door.

I’ve had Dave aswell. He’s not all that.

@changedmyname1976.. wish I’d done it 30 years ago .. but wouldn’t have had the confidence then! I now at the age of “fuck it” !!

I haven't shagged Dave. He's my brother

I shagged Dave recently, then I found out he's a swinger.

It was a situation someone else I worked with dealt with. That’s how I inadvertently found out about it,

I'm scared of dying but still think of ending my own life on a regular basis.

I wouldn't go through with it, not at all, but sometimes I feel so alone

@AGoatsbawhairaway

Life is so hard when you feel that way...It takes up so much energy to get through the day...wishing you some peace and comfort

My brother is a mass murderer. There are books and documentaries about him. I have very complex PTSD because of what happened, the nuclear explosion it caused for so many people and the fact I know a true story even more shocking than the one the public think they know. One day I will tell my story, but I have to bide my time.

@LadyLolaRuben

After not finding Mr Right and being in my early 40s, I'm thinking of going to a fertility clinic and having a baby via a donor. Coming from a catholic/ traditional family and having been written off by them in this regard, I'm not going to tell them unless its a success and it will really shock them. Im nervous and excited going it alone

Good for you!! I'd have done the same in that situation. I hope it works out for you!

My DD went through a short period of self harm. It was utterly a peer group thing which makes me really angry. I took the whole brunt of supporting her at a time when I was at rock bottom myself.

@FreddieMercurysCat

My husband received a 3 month prison sentence a few years back. Left me in a terrible position re a very high pressure job with a 2 year old. My family still don’t know.

What for? How did you hide it?

I had a termination in 2006, no one else knows. I can't talk about it IRL as it's too hard. It's helpful to write it on here anonymously.

@tellycontroller

I still have a teddy in bed every night and I am 37. Obviously DH and the kids know but no-one else does.

And I reported someone for benefit fraud. They lost their house, car, benefits, the lot. Basically they were claiming maximum disability benefits and saying they were unable to work. However they also had one hell of a side hustle and were doing speaking engagements about what life was like with a disability. Fees for this kind if work can be ££££
The person used to attend a disability support group I also attended and still doesn't know it was me that reported them. As for why I did it- I work a max of 12 hours a week and that leaves me absolutely exhausted each week. Yet they were claiming that life was so difficult they could barely function yet they were raking it in with speakers fees.

Good! I'd do the same, can't abide benefit cheats......
