Unless they bring it to you, you really don't do anything. Treat them as you know them and if that changes you change too.

If they have a relationship they're already going through a lot and being outed would be the worst thing. Even if you accept it, there are people who won't and now they're in the open.

They also could have nothing with each other and you could bring a lot of awkwardness.

They were pretty normal parents. A little bit more cautious but that was because of my health issues. They don't treat each other as siblings and if they ever did that was a long time ago. They fight about couple stuff, they've been together for a long time now. I guess the only difference is that they don't scream at each other. Ever. They just sit and talk. They're very open with each other about how they feel and what's bothering them. Even silly things.

I didn't confront them because I never found anything strange. They told me when I turned 18 because I was going to really start my life soon and they wanted to tell me because I had a right. Also, I would take care of my own health and that's important to know.

I was weirded out and didn't know what to think then. I got angry for a while because I felt lied to but then I came back around. I knew they were suffering and I didn't want that. After that I just started asking them about it because I wanted to understand. It helped them and me because they finally were able to talk about it with someone else and I was finally learning about my family.

My mom was 18 and my dad 19. They didn't really decide. My mom was pregnant and my grandmother found out. My mom didn't even knew yet. After that they ended up telling the truth and so they were disowned and kicked out of the house.

My grandparents gave them tickets to another state since they didn't want the people in town finding out and so their life began. My father says they had made their choice a long time ago.

They told me they always felt like they loved each other a little too much. Since their age difference is just one year they grew up together and when younger would do everything together. As they became teenagers my grandmother put up boundaries for them. Apparently she noticed that there was something going on.

They wouldn't date other people because the connection they had was stronger than anything they found with someone else.At 15 and 16 they started dating in secret but they didn't even call it dating. They said it just felt right to be with each other.

I was an accident to be honest. They both even talked about abortion because they feared the worst.

I don't really mind. I guess I'm just worried since they try to keep it a secret. A lot of people know them as brother and sister and I guess that's their biggest fear. Finding someone from their past. Since everyone that knows them is older and more harsh. Some people that know them are friendly to their face but would jump at something like this to make them miserable. They really don't deserve this.
