This Patient Kept A Serious Accident Secret
[ranking: 1]
From immadee:
"My mother-in-law worked at a nursing home so she had seen [things], but one stuck with her. A patient knew he/she was near [the end] and called out for someone -anyone- to listen. She listened. The patient said that when they were young, their father had been out drinking with some friends and on the way home he had hit a little girl. Gave very specific details about where and when it happened. The girl was maybe 3 years old. Her father and his friends [hid her body] under the porch steps and never spoke of it again.
The person had lived with the guilt of keeping it a secret and felt horrible that the little girl's family would never know what had happened. They had to let someone else know."
A Man Told His Grandson All The Horrible Things He Did As A WWII Soldier
[ranking: 2]
From BattlefieldInsanity:
"Shortly after he was diagnosed [with] the final stages of heart failure, a few weeks before he [passed], my grandfather told me several stories about WW2 that changed my view of him and of [conflict] in general. Now, before I start, I should tell you that my grandfather was one of the kindest men you'd ever meet. Always friendly, never drank, the kind of guy who gave the shirt off his back to those who needed it and handed out the biggest candy bars in town on Halloween. Everyone loved him.
Shortly after D-Day, my grandfather was part of a 12 man..squad fighting in Northern France. As his unit entered a seemingly abandoned village, they were ambushed by a squad of Germans and the unit was torn apart. They won, but by the end...only three of the Americans were still alive, and one of them was badly wounded. The squad leader and his assistant were [slain]. The two unwounded soldiers swept the...scene and hauled three badly wounded German Wehrmacht soldiers into the middle of the street.
My grandfather looked at the other American soldier, said 'No Prisoners,' and [eliminated] one of the Germans right there. He said he almost [became sick] because there was way more [remains] than he was expecting. His partner lifted his rifle to [take out] the other two, but my grandfather stopped them. He said that there may have been other German soldiers nearby and didn't want [to attract] them.
So they dragged the other two into the shallow ditch on the side of the road, with about six inches of water in it, and [finished them].
After that, he said he hated Germans. He confessed to a number of [aggressive acts] that resulted in [repercussions].
A Man Admitted To A Serious Incident
[ranking: 3]
From DemonicWombat:
"Related to me by my mother before her passing: My great uncle admitted that he had [eliminated] his first wife...because he found her [harming] their neighbor's son when he was 5 years old. This was when he lived in Ireland and a few years later he moved to America, met another woman, and lived his life happily; had a number of kids and gran-kids. It put most of the family into shock as my great uncle was one of the [kindest] people you would ever meet.
No explanation on how he got away with it, or any more than that. He [passed] like 3 minutes later. Shook my family up for a while."
This Woman Found Out Her Partner Had A Disease
[ranking: 4]
From Pleasebeunique27:
"I'm a medical student and I had a female patient who was new to our practice who was HIV positive. I needed to ask her how she got the virus... She tells me it was [transmitted via intimate contact], and the only reason she got tested was because her partner of 3 years last words to her...in hospice was 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I wanted to tell you; forgive me.' Heavy stuff."
A Man Confessed To Having A Secret Daughter
[ranking: 5]
From MartijnCvB:
"My other uncle had been in a car accident. It was bad. In the ambulance on the way to the hospital, he said 'Tell my wife that Wendy is my daughter and I love her (name changed for privacy).' He [passed] a few minutes later....
Wendy was the neighbors' then 5 year old child. That caused a huge [problem], I can tell you."

[ranking: 6]
From tay-lorde:

This Woman Discovered The Truth About Her Parents
[ranking: 7]
From Kaslyne04:
"My mum was from China though we are now happily residing in an European country. We went back to China for my grandmother's last few weeks as she was [struggling with] terminal cancer.
On my grandma's last days, she requested that mum stay with her alone, and it was only then she revealed that my mum wasn't her biological kid. My grandma confessed that she has bought my mum from [the black market] (which was common in China), because she had tried for many years and still couldn't get pregnant.
My mother cried a lot, not only for the unimaginable [challenges] that her biological parents likely went through in losing a baby, but also for the fact that my grandparents have went beyond to treat my mum as their little princess. They literally did treat my mum as their own. They were never [mean] and only gave her the very best in life. They even willingly send my mum to the US for university education even though they aren't rich by any means."
This Man Apologized For A Serious Crime
[ranking: 8]
From TheMikeroni:
"Not necessarily a confession, but I used to work in an assisted living home and...a resident apologized profusely for [harming] his daughter's son just minutes before he took his last breath.
...The daughter was there and started bawling saying 'I forgive you, I forgive you.' Very emotionally charged moment. She explained later that he had sought help with his family and was reformed, but could never let go of the guilt. Assisted living homes are wild, man."

[ranking: 9]
From NinjaDK:
"My mother worked as a nurse in the biggest hospital in Copenhagen. A dude is...ill with cancer, has his wife, children and entire family next to him. He decides before he [passes] that he was gonna phone the girl he was cheating with on his wife to meet up at the hospital when the entire family was there.
My mother had to move the entire family into another room when she showed up, because of massive shouting and hysteria. What a selfish [person] he was."
A Man Revealed His True Feelings About His Wife

"My grandpa told my grandma [before passing] that he hadn't loved her for almost 30 years, and he was close to divorcing her many times, but could never go through with it."
This Family Found Out Their Heritage Was A Lie
[ranking: 11]
From 17decimal28:
"My mom and her dad both grew up believing and hearing stories from my great grandmother about how she was the daughter of a Cherokee woman who ran off and joined the circus. It was a good tale. My great grandmother taught all of us rain dances and other cultural things. All of her decor and style was Cherokee-inspired. She even physically looked Native American. My older cousin even got some college grant based on being 1/16th Native American.
On my great grandmother's [last moments] she tells my grandpa that she made all of it up. Turns out her mother was really just a neighborhood [working woman] of European descent that dumped her in an orphanage."
This Woman Had Some Religious Regrets
[ranking: 12]
From Dallaswolf21:
"My grandmother was super religious my whole life. Always going to church and doing right by her community. In her last hours she said she really did not believe in God and wished she had not wasted all that time in her life doing what she thought others wanted her to do.
It was pretty crazy for her husband my dad and aunt to hear her say that."
A Woman Learned She Was Almost Not Born
[ranking: 13]
From WHTMage:
"My grandma confessed to my mom when she thought she was passing (she got better) that she tried to [end her life before she was born] Obviously it was unsuccessful. My grandma was a religious woman, and decided that God wanted her to have this baby, and treated my mom like her favorite child. This messed my mom up for a while, and it was even more awkward when my grandma surprisingly got better.
After Grandma [passed] for real, my mom eventually made peace with it. After she was born, Grandma never treated her like she was unwanted, so my mom understood she was in a vulnerable place at the time (Mom was the seventh child in a poor family. Yay the time before birth control)."
One Child Found Out Their Family Was Bigger Than Expected
[ranking: 14]
From MoltenLarva:
"I was told by my father that in addition to two other kids he had that I knew of, there were more children of his out there. Also, that only two of his kids were with the same woman. Four of them showed up at his service (in addition to the other two), making it seven of us present.
We also found out that he may have had other kids elsewhere but my family kept really poor records of things, so I have never found out who they are. Most of that was word of mouth from old friends of his.
Weird note, but all of us got together and now stay in contact. We had a good amount in common and see each other when we can!"
A Woman Reveals Her Daughter's Real Birth Father
[ranking: 15]
From paparazzi_rider:
"Well, it was intended to be a [final] confession, but she pulled through. My gf's mom told my gf her birth father's name after saying she didn't know; she was [sleeping] around and couldn't remember. It was Orange County in the 80's and apparently my future mother-in-law [did many bad things all around] Southern California.
But she did know who my gf's dad was and finally told her after 30+ years. Turns out he now lived less than three blocks away in our small town in the Mohave desert. His kids look exactly like my gf did at their age. We didn't make contact, as his...record is a mile long and he's a [horrible] person by all evidence."
