Welcome to Family Secrets. So many of us live with secrets that haunt us, keep us awake at night, or noodle their way into our lives. Some secrets are funny (think: embarrassing moments). Some are tragic. But many hold us captive. In Daisy Chain, many characters harbor secrets, but only a few are brave enough to bring them to the light of day and find freedom and hope. That's why I created this site—to give you a safe place to air a secret anonymously. It’s my way to help you turn your trial to triumph. If you'd like to do that, click the “Tell Your Secret” link now. All secrets are kept anonymous, and will be posted with discretion (Please temper graphic secrets). It’s my desire that this blog will become a community for many, and that thousands of folks will experience freedom when they’ve shared their family secret. Because the truth is, despite the darkness, there is hope.

He/she wants to try forgiveness

This comment came in response to the post about the older brother sexually abusing his younger sibling. I love how our stories truly, truly help each other heal.

I too have an older brother and although he never molested me he held our family captive and my parents as well by his use of money.

Well now my parents are dead and I thought that would be the end of it. But of course it isn't. Whether I see him or not (not) I find myself so ticked off whenever I think of him that I can't function and it makes me bitter and cold inside. I want you to know that reading your story makes me want to lay it all down.

I don't know how when his damage is so profound but you make me want to try. For this, I thank you.
