[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 385693, member: 9175"] Welcome, Raven. I'm right there with you. My difficult child, who refuses to see a therapist or psychiatrist and is, therefore, undiagnosed, has lied for most of her life. In recent years, as her difficult child-ness bloomed, it has gotten worse. She is 19 and currently living with her dad. He also lies, but his lies are about his own self-protection (such as "that young blonde whose love letters you found is merely a friend"). She lies to self-protect but also tells big story-telling lies and also bizarre no-reason lies. It is very frustrating. I tried everything I could think of as she was growing up, but I could not stop the lies. Now that she's 19 and no longer under my roof, I am learning to let it go. I still hold her accountable for the big stuff (she is not allowed to use my car because she picked up a strange dude she met on the internet instead of going to the mall with a friend, as she had told me). Patriot's Girl and Step: you give me hope that she might actually - some day - decide it isn't worth it. Dash [/QUOTE]
