I agree with you 100%, Shadow. I wish my parents had never lied to me about stuff like that and yes it did cause me anxiety and has impacted my life greatly.
They are.
I think it's one of those things that harms people to varying degrees; some just lose some trust in their parents or learn a little slower from being lied to, some people's minds get wrecked. My mom was raised hard core catholic, and she tells me that one of the biggest problems was that she couldn't form a cohesive view of the world because once she realized religion was a lie, she assumed that everything she studied alongside her religion classes must be BS as well. The institution of her school lost its credibility. The same thing goes for parents: if you know your parents lied to you, they are no longer a credible source of wisdom.
