Were you damaged by the lies your parents told you when you were young?

Asked by jonsblond (43667points) December 1st, 2010

I’m specifically talking about Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy.

When you found out the truth, were you traumatized? Does it affect you now in your adulthood? Are you upset your parents lied to you?

I have great appreciation for the lies my parents told me. They bring back a magical time in my childhood. A time of good memories.

I ask because I know there are some people that think it is wrong to lie to children about these holiday/special moment figures. I’d like to know if anyone has been damaged by these lies, and if you resent your parents for it.
