[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 148789, member: 30"] Hugs to you Jane. I think it sounds like we have a lot of simularities in our children. Sometimes my difficult child lies alot and sometimes not. I find it very difficult to have a meaningful relationship with her. A relationship is based on trust and honesty. We don't have that. I love my daughter. We will never have the close relationship I had hoped for us when she was a baby. So we have a superficial relationship. It works for me and my difficult child appears to be fine with it. As long as she gets to talk and talk and talk, it's all good. You have to learn to protect your heart, superficial works. That way you don't have to ask questions that will undoubtedly make her lie. Start using these phrases: hmmmmmmmmm, oh wow!, oh my goodness, how is that working out? I hope you get what you want, I hope that really makes you happy! I never challange these "stories", it just isn't worth it. I'm sorry for your pain. [/QUOTE]
