The hardest thing to process is the fact your parents have lied to you. Ultimate betrayal


I think I was about 6 when I realised. I was awake on Christmas Eve and I heard my dad going into the loft and bringing black bags of presents down.

I never really bought into any of that. Even when I was really small, I didn't understand why Santa was sending me presents on behalf of someone else, and the labels were always written in the peoples writing.

..we always had the gifts from other people..Aunts/Uncles etc under the tree to open later so that we could thank the person who had given them and 'Father Christmas' was just little stocking fillers our parents bought...we did the same with the boys as well...

..I don't think I felt betrayed that my parents had lied to me, Glenn...I think that I was just so impressed that they were able to buy and hide all of those gifts and sneak into our rooms to leave them there and make it look magical, while being very silent...
