I wrote an award winning book about my family secret. “Sit down Daniel, I’m not your mother. Your real mother is French and you have another family living in France. I was beginning my sophomore year in college when this secret was revealed to me by my German stepmother, the only mother I had known beginning from age 3-4 years.
Thank you for your comment. I’m going to share my very eclectic website ( https://alyeskeea.com/an-extraordinary-life / https://alyeskeea.com/an-extraordinary-life-2/ ) where I have written a brief summary about this book which I self published in 2021. I was finally awarded my dual citizenship with France in 2022. The title is “The Letters: How A Mixed-Race American Child Learned About His French Mother And Heritage”. BTW, I am serializing aspects of that story plus more on my Substack.
I have both an internal and individual family secrets. All of the family members involved have died. I would like to share these secrets with you to use as examples on your podcast. I'm not sure how to articulate these secrets. Please let me know if you want me to try.
Hi! I'm not looking for any more submissions for this specific episode, but if that changes I will reach out! In the meantime, I definitely recommend you sharing where you feel comfortable to be able to unburden yourself and move through any grief/shame/feelings associated with this.

Wow yes! I think family secrets definitely reinforce generational trauma. I have some of my own that I am struggling to figure out what to do with.
We're going to get into it this month and on the podcast! I hope I can help!
