What's a painful lie you were told growing up, and how did you learn it was a lie?

Question

We were not well off. I was the youngest boy of 4. All others had been involved in alcohol and drugs. Mom wanted a better environment for me so she scraped and saved and sent me to a private school. They had corporal punishment. The principal was an abusive man.

his lie was “this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you.”

my brother’s truth was based on inaccurate information “they can’t spank you unless mom agreed to it so she’s okay with you getting spanked at school.” So in the end this was false.

The minute my mom found out that I was being spanked for silly rules in the school she pulled me out. She still has no idea how often or how brutally he beat me. I hid everything from her because I didn’t want her to know how often I was spanked and the school never told her when it happened.

I resented my mom for the years it was happening but when she realized that it was bad she pulled me out that day. My mon didn’t know. Our relationship changed overnight. I stopped a lot of my bad behavior at home. We became a team at home and had a wonderful relationship afterwards.

my mom has a horrible history of abuse and my brothers got involved in some bad stuff early on. She wanted something better for me and thought she was doing the right thing. I don’t blame her. It was the principal who hurt me and my brother’s ignorance that encouraged me to not speak up for myself that prolonged it.

I've since forgiven her, but when she insisted to get me out of my aunt's house and go live with her, I thought she really wanted to reconnect and make up for lost time.

Turned out she was skipping rent and couldn't get evicted if she had a minor in her care.

My narcissistic mother had a bad day. She invited me and my friend who visited me into Cinema, but her intention was just to provoke me. As a 8 yo. child I fell in her trap and as punishment she left me home and went with my friend into cinema. This was the day I've learned her mother love is a lie, I'm not more than a toy for her.

At the end of the day, government usually has your best interests at heart. I learned that was a lie by paying taxes and getting very little for it while watching those who pay no taxes live like royalty.
