14 People Recount Memories That Still Leave a Sour Taste

Even though not all of our memories are happy and some we’d rather forget, they still matter. They help shape our identity, and talking about them can be healing. Today, we’re sharing some true stories that reflect this idea.

I became friends with their daughter, and she always told me that their house was haunted. One day, I was playing in the yard with her when a disheveled-looking man came running out their front door, followed by her parents. The man proceeded to run into the woods.

It turned out that the man was living in their attic and kept it locked from the inside, but my friend’s dad finally pried it open. Since then, I have been carefully checking every house I have ever lived in. © Unknown author / Reddit

He passed the phone to me, and thinking it was my mom, I answered by saying, “Hi Mom.” It wasn’t her. I later found out that my dad had numerous mistresses even before my mom passed away 5 years ago.

It still haunts me because to this day, my dad thinks I don’t remember what happened that day, and I still don’t fully trust him since then. © Unknown author / Reddit

I was beyond furious, and it was one of the reasons I moved out as soon as I could earn enough money to do it. The fact that my stepmother did my half-sister’s homework for her didn’t help. © na***onmygoat / Reddit

I bent down to look through a hole in the divider wall and I saw an eyeball staring back. © Unknown author / Reddit

I could constantly hear them discussing how when I came into their life, I completely ruined it. Almost every night for about 5 years, the subject was about me and how horrible I was.
