"My partner's mom, who was one of five, found out after her dad died that he had an entire secret family with five other kids. I guess he took off one day from his first family, met and married her mother, and started a whole new family. It wasn't until both families were mentioned in his obituaries that either family found out about the other."

The houses were close together, and she tossed a burning dishrag from her kitchen window onto the neighbor's roof. It smouldered, sparked a flame, and that was that.
She never told them what happened. Continued to live next to them for decades. Even saw them in church.
Dirty family secret. I didn't learn about it until 20 years after the fact.
