My biological dad abandoned my mom when he found out she was pregnant with me. I staged a surprise meeting when I was about 15? and it didn’t go well.
Always wondered why he left, especially after I heard that he left another woman who had a daughter that looks exactly like me.
I’ve made peace with it but it’s a curiosity I have.

One family mystery that still haunts me, my grandparents always argued about a letter from my great-grandfather that supposedly explained why he left town suddenly in the 1940s. Nobody ever saw it, and whenever it comes up, everyone shuts down or changes the subject. I’ve asked countless times, but the letter disappeared long before I was born. I keep wondering what he wrote and if knowing would change how I see my family’s history.

Why people dislike or hate me for no reason.
I may have thought they're keeping it a secret, but nobody bothers to tell me anything. They just leave me hanging, and I have no idea why. I would approach and ask why, but they don't bother, like I'm disposable.
Same goes for my narc father and his mom. They just hate my existence, and even tell me I'm a mistake. Even on my grandma's death bed, she never apologized for abusing me, so I never got any answer from her.

My grandfather sold a wine and spirits wholesaler business in the late 1920s. The mystery of what happened to the money has dominated my entire life. Equivalent today for about £1million. In the early 40s he died a penniless drunk. He had 2 sons (one my father) and a daughter. I once found the final ledger for the business which his daughter (my aunt) saved for the rest of her life. It confirmed the family rumour about how much it was sold for. Nobody knows what happened to the money.

Small one:
I once misplaced an iPod nano and haven't found it yet. This was 11 years ago.
Now I looked everywhere and moved since then, so the odds of me finding it are none-existant. It was probably stolen, or I dropped it somewhere, but my brain REALLY is telling me it's misplaced for some reason. I had it one day. And I didn't have it the next day. But I don't know which day that was.

When I was a kid we used to have day naps, but no one really slept. I remember some people were looking at us and then I immediately fell asleep for some reason… it scares me even now, not sure if I want to know what happened.
