Over the years, some problems between siblings, parents, or anyone in the family do not just go away with time, rather become worse. Depending on the parties involve and the severity of the issue, the saying "Time heals all wounds" is not always applicable, especially if it deals with emotional pain, trauma, and personal issues that won't go away by letting time pass by.
Like the story of this Reddit user named Throwaway976A who expressed his frustrations on how his family went against him for telling the truth. He is an ex-army who has not been in contact with his brother for almost 20 years because of an issue, which his nephew thought was just about business.
Over the years, his nephew had tried to reconcile him and his brother, but he cannot just forget everything and act as if nothing happened. Until such time, the bomb inside him exploded and revealed to his nephew the longtime issue in their family that was kept hidden from him all throughout his life.
Where it all started.
The feud between him and his family started when he was working in the military. His son was three years old at that time when he accidentally found out that he wasn't the father of his child.
It turned his life upside down, knowing how his older brother and his ex-wife had cheated on him while he was away and he was blindly looking after his older brother's child. After finding out that horrible truth, he divorced his wife, and that same year, his older brother married her.
However, the woman suddenly died and this is where his family, specifically his parents had forced him to keep everything to himself and to not say it especially to his nephew. But, as the years go by, the truth eventually came out.
