Ask a Cult Survivor

The first was not a big deal: it was a surprise party, so not like I collaborated. The second, I invited a bunch of friends over. I didn't even bother to get a cake, which mortified them, so they went and got me a cake during the party.

As a child, it was never a big deal. You don't know what you're missing while you're missing it, if you never had it. It's like, how does it feel not to celebrated your half-birthday six months after your birthday? It wouldn't even occur to you to wonder such a thing. That's how I felt about birthdays.

Christmas and Halloween were bigger deals. Those were the times I felt left out.

But birthdays? Didn't miss em.

Do you have birthdays now?
