[QUOTE="Star*, post: 408783, member: 4964"] JJJ, Has anyone ever suggested with Kanga that you tell her you are writing things she says down? Our therapist suggested that with Dude, and it worked wonders for his reality check. DF kept a calendar on the wall, and when Dude would say something "outrageous" about his day to day life or situation DF would tell him he was going to go write that down. Then repeat back to him what he said. The next time they talked, and Dude would come up with something off the wall? DF would say "Wait a minute remember Tuesday you said XXX? I do because I wrote down and repeated back to you what you said and you confirmed it remember?" This went on for about six months - and it was hard on us all and it usually ended up in Dude being frustrated and hanging up on us, or calling us liars - but eventually we started getting the truth out of conversations, AND we had to do the same thing when he was home - THAT was so much fun - FOLLOW him everywhere and tell him why we were following him - because he couldn't be trusted. UGH. I'm so sorry for you and husband - you guys have really, really gone the xtra mile and then some with her. I'm just sending hugs.....For all 3 of you! [/QUOTE]
