15 Real Stories Which Plots Seems Unreal

Life is full of surprises if you take the time to observe. Every day, unexpected things can happen that can bring joy, excitement, or new opportunities. However, life can also present challenges and situations that you never imagined could occur. These surprising twists can be both amazing and overwhelming, reminding us that the future is always uncertain.

• Was always close with my mom through to my mid-teens, she and my stepdad always talked bad about my father who I’ve always known and been decently close to, but believed he wasn’t necessarily a great person. Then my stepdad grew more abusive, and I gained a mind of my own, my mother did nothing to protect me from him, and after I moved out to escape him she blames me for us not being close. The plot twist is that I found out my mom cheated on my dad with my stepfather, and that they’re both narcissists and function in a sort of toxic power couple dynamic. And my Dad knew this all along and let me figure it out on my own as to not make it seem like he wanted me to dislike my mom to be closer to him. © frozeneskimo02 / Reddit
• I was engaged to a guy and thought everything was great. We never fought, we were planning to move from an apartment to a decent house, he had helped me raise my kid from the time she was a baby. One night I went to bed, and he stayed up to play video games like he often did. I wake up, and the house is quiet, I can’t find him. I think perhaps he went to the store... then I realized his computer (his prized possession) was gone. In its place is his apartment key and a note saying that he never loved me, but he loved my daughter and that leaving her was the most painful thing he’s ever done. And not to try to find him. © Methadone_Martyr / Reddit
• Had a best friend growing up who was also my neighbor. My siblings always said that I looked like him and that it would be funny if we did a DNA test. Years go by, and we are both in our late 20s, and he on a whim does the Ancestory.com DNA swab. Turns out he matches with my family. He’s my half-brother, and Dad had to explain a lot that day. © monstergoro87 / Reddit

• My dad was younger than his siblings by quite a few years. His sister is 14 years older than he is, and he’s always been very close to her. And she has always been a good sister to him. A few months ago I was talking to a friend of mine who had known my dad for 50 years. He very casually dropped his theory that my aunt is not his sister, she is actually my dad’s mother. That she had gotten pregnant. Very young and been sent away, then returned with a baby that they raised as her little brother. It was one of those things. That is so simple that I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. © edgarpickle / Reddit
• Imagine this: You’re at a family gathering, just enjoying the usual small talk and catching up with relatives you haven’t seen in a while. Suddenly, your uncle stands up, clears his throat, and announces that he’s leaving his cushy office job to become a professional skydiver. The whole room goes silent as everyone exchanges bewildered glances, trying to process this unexpected bombshell. And just like that, your uncle’s midlife crisis becomes the talk of the family for years to come. © catmealcat / Reddit
• When I finished secondary school at 15 years old, I had so poor grades that I was not selected to any High School I applied. I had no plan for my life. Then my parents saw that a local vocational school/college was starting to try out combining college and high school, but I got in just by signing the paper. It took four years but after that, I went to the University of Applied Sciences and here I am now: product development engineer and working for a big company, planning power plants. © WM_ / Reddit

• My cousin’s wife was leading a double life where she had married another man in South Africa and convinced them both she was working a government intelligence job where she had to bounce between the US and SA. She did work for the government so she had some credentials but at a low-level administrative position. The guy in South Africa got her pregnant, so she came back and told my cousin that the twins were his. He raised him for three years before the other guy tracked him down and gave him the information his private investigator had come up with. The worst part is her family was helping, fabricate the stories, and even helped her get back and forth. © Sloothunter9000 / Reddit
• Grew up uber-rich, my dad was a real estate mogul in the European country I grew up in. Seriously, no worries in the world, life was perfect. Then, one day, a bunch of government officials raided our home, took all the contents of my dad’s office, took him away, and now he’s in jail for Fraud and Money Laundering. Now I just function like anyone else — work full time at a restaurant, internship, college classes. © vvvulture / Reddit

• I dated a much older man for 2 years in my 20s. He proposed, and I found out a week later he was married to someone else the whole time. He was able to hide it because she was in the hospital dying from cancer. His plan must have been to drag me along until she died and cover the whole thing up, but she didn’t die, so he panicked and proposed to me anyway. I realized that he’d been lying nonstop since we met about just about everything, and had even faked having a stroke once to get out of spending the holidays with me. © xain_the_i***t / Reddit
• Gave up learning German at age 14; I was studying French as well, and used it far more often. I remember saying, “When will I need German after this?”
  At 24, I got a job in Austria. The language of Austria is German. 14-year-old me didn’t think 10 years ahead. © StuHardy / Reddit

• So my husband went to the bathroom. An hour later, I text and ask if he’s alive. He doesn’t answer. I go into our bedroom, the bathroom light is on and the door is locked. I knock, he says nothing. I knock louder and call his name. Nothing. I find a knife and unlock the door. I go in the bathroom and check the shower, can’t find him anywhere. Open the door to the walk-in closet and he’s lying on the floor. I freak out and start shaking him. He laid down with the blue blanket to comfort our elder cat because he’s afraid of thunder and fell asleep." © NerdyPam / Twitter
• After losing 3 kids to miscarriage and infertility, my wife and I started the process of an adoption. Days after we sent all the final paperwork off to China, we found out my wife was also expecting. Twins. I now have 3 11-year-olds, 7 weeks apart in age. © RoboNinjaPirate / Reddit
• Me and my dad never had a good relationship, as he was physically and emotionally abusive. He kicked me out as a teen, and we’ve been no-contact ever since. In adulthood, my sister defended him by relaying something he had recently admitted to her: he admitted to treating me badly because he believed I wasn’t (biologically) his child. My sister said it as if I should give him some credit for choosing to raise me, despite these circumstances. Some time later I did an AncestryDNA test which concluded that I am his biological child. © Peacockblue11 / Reddit

• When I was in middle school I had a panic disorder and my mom gave me these tablets that helped, and for years I have wondered what those were. She finally confessed to me today that she just placebo me with vitamin C tablets. © androgynyfiend / Twitter
• Met my bio dad when I was 23. After a couple of years he invited myself and my toddler son to come live with him as I was struggling financially. Wanted to put me in his will, his wife at the time suggested a paternity test “to be sure”. I get the mail in, swab your cheek one. 6 weeks later, the results came back that he wasn’t the dad. She kicked me out. I was homeless, dropped my son off with his father and explained everything, said give me 3 months to work and save, so I could get an apartment again. The father of my son claimed abandonment without telling me and got full custody.
  
  Plot twist: 2 weeks after that, bio dad’s wife flipped out and in her moment of crazy admitted her triumph of swabbing her own cheek and sending it under my name for the paternity test. We’ve since retested and he’s my father. © Lunatyc84 / Reddit
