Cousin’s Life-Changing Secret Revealed: Was It Right or Wrong?

We all have family secrets, but what happens when one of those secrets has the potential to change someone’s life forever? Meet P, a young man who received a full scholarship to an Ivy League school and became the first in his immediate family to go to college. P’s conservative evangelical Christian family didn’t approve of his liberal politics and studies in evolutionary biology, causing a rift between them. As P grew closer to his cousin and her husband, he began to question his connection to his family. Little did he know, a life-changing secret was about to be revealed.

While the cousin believed that P had the right to know his true familial medical history and hoped that this information might explain P’s emotional distance from his father in a healing way, P’s parents now hate her for it. As P embraces his newfound family, the question remains: was it right to reveal the secret, or should it have stayed hidden? ‍♀️
