[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 169886, member: 1991"] THat sounds like a very productive session. Poor kid - it IS hard work, to break any habit. But if he can at least see, even when pointed out, the damage that lies can cause - it has to be a beginning. And you handed it really well. You gave him the space and time he needed with his thoughts -very important. If you and husband are communicating well, a lie like difficult child's should not cause problems that a quick talk between you shouldn't resolve. Back before we married (but were already engaged) husband's cousin (raised like a brother) lied about me in a similar way. husband was away at the time in the army, I was in the car with father in law & mother in law in the front and cousin and uncle in the back. Cousin claimed I'd been furtively coming on to him in the back seat on the drive home. He told uncle that evening ands uncle was so concerned that it might be true, he came to father in law and talked to him about it and asked if he knew what his son (husband) was getting involved with (ie me). And uncle already knew his own son was a pathological liar! Cousin later got the perfect job for him - advertising! Marg [/QUOTE]
