Huh. Nobody's talking about how the secret gives the character all the power. Even if their reasons are good, that changes every family relationship.

Yeah the part about it changing every family relationship is so true. It makes me think of my grandma who always "forgot" to tell people about health stuff until after doctor visits. Like she'd casually mention a heart test over tea, and you'd realize she'd been sitting on it for weeks. It didn't even feel like a big secret, but it definitely made everyone tiptoe around her more.
