What would you do if your parents had this deep secret?

Asked by Patty_Melt (17519points) March 18th, 2017

How would you react if you stumbled across some items belonging to one of your parents which proved they both, or one of them were spies?
Maybe they are spies for your government, or maybe you learn they are sleepers.
Would you confront them? What would be your feelings? Would you tell anyone? Would it change your view of anything about your childhood?

In your scenario, how older are you?

Adult? I would answer one way.

Teen, quite another.

Tough choice but as a patriotic American, I’d have to turn them in. Unless they were spying FOR the US, then I’d keep my mouth shut about it so they could continue their work. (Duty, honor, country.)

@elbanditiroso, as you are now. If this happened in your life, say, tomorrow.

I am only on Season 3 of The Americans. I don’t know yet.

Honestly, I would just shut the fuck up and go along until I could go to college and get away. Parents being spies is way less worse than molestation. And that shit is happening right now.

Kewl! I would congratulate them!

If they have always been good parents I would leave things alone. It’s none of your business. Your parents brought you into this world. Give them a hug and a kiss. Be very thankful they didn’t throw you in the garbage while they did their thing. Be very thankful.

This question is not about me. It is about you, and how you would feel, react.

If they were good spies, I wouldn’t have found any evidence. :/

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Perhaps that means you are SO good, you should follow in their footsteps.

@Patty_Melt, outspy the spies. I suppose I should demand a job.

I probably wouldn’t confront them and just ignore it
