My secret is that I'm about to estrange myself from my father, my stepmother, and my half-brother. My dad and my step mom are not good people, and it's taken me a very long time to come to this decision. For so long, I've tried not to take sides between my dad and my mom because I thought that if everyone else was happy, I'd be happy. But I'm not, and neither is anyone else really. What's really held me back is my half-brother, whose a few years younger than me. I know that when I stop seeing them, my dad and my stepmom will only give him their side of the story, and I also don't want him to grow up without some one to raise him right. (Dad and my stepmom surely won't). My only consolation is that maybe, when he's older, he'll see his parents for who they really are, and understand what I did.
And that's my secret.
