I think it's good you're getting in touch with those, with the adult self looking on. It's holding onto that contradiction - but yeah, I got that that was the point you were making in your post, that you had the guts now to say, you were lying to me. It's like kids finding out about the tooth fairy - sorta! You - ie the kid - only do that - can only accept it - AFTER a certain point.
