My mother was not a liar, so I was never lied to about this (other than by people out in the world, who I did not believe, as my mother told me the truth about this). I felt fine about that, that my mother was not a liar who would intentionally mislead me. Seeing how other people were raised did make me think bad thoughts about their parents, that they were a bunch of untrustworthy liars. I remember seeing children cry when they found out the truth about this. Some were extremely upset by it, and it was needless suffering that was inflicted upon them by their parents. It is no wonder that so many grow up to hate their parents, given what so many do to their children.

They did make me write a letter to Santa when I was little, but I knew it was only to find out what I wanted for Christmas
Please don't tell me I'm the only one with a santaless childhood, I'll be a sad panda
Why would it make you sad? Do you mean that you would be sad that other people had liars for parents, or that you would be alone in the beliefs you had as a child?
