What delusion are you talking about? I have been stripped of them, rather: the delusion that I could ever earn Odin's love, the delusion that having to earn love is normal or acceptable, the delusion that Asgard could ever care for someone who isn't a musclebound brute.

You have only seen one side of the story. Why do you assume that nothing beside remains? When I have venom for eyes and scars for lips, what makes you think the things done to me were false?

But then, you claim we all have choices. In that case, lets do an experiment. I shall drop a baby into a tank of sharks, and we shall see if the baby chooses to live.
