I did both years ago and it has been very freeing. Besides the not so perfect family secrets, one of them, done decades ago was a prank* done on an ex therapist. I was so ashamed to get the words out. When I told my therapist the misdeed she laughed her butt off. I went over a decade feeling shame for what I did, now I just grin like a Cheshire Cat.

*I confess. It was not done as a prank. It was me wanting to do payback. She terminated me because I refused to have my parents sign a no lawsuit suicide waiver.
