[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 456749, member: 9175"] Like so many others, I can completely relate to your anger, frustration and bafflement. My difficult child lies constantly .. about big things, little things, all sorts of things. She lies when she doesn't need to lie, she makes up huge story lies (once, she gave a witness at a church youth retreat .. not our church so she had a fresh audience... in this witness, she described physical abuse by a boyfriend, an eating disorder that landed her in the hospital, cutting the word "runaway" into her arm, and a dad who never said "I love you.". Every single thing was false. When confronted, she only fessed up to lying about the boyfriend, the dad thing and the ED. She still insisted she cut and even scraped some superficial wounds into her arm the next week. Ugh). She lies, gets caught and then lies about the lie. I struggle constantly with how to deal with this. Confrontation doesn't work. Going along with it doesn't feel right. Trying to speak the truth back at her falls on deaf ears. It is beyonjd frustrating. I know you've dealt with so much emotion with this recent situation. Her lying about all this has to be insanely frustrating for you. I know lying is a huge part of the whole personality disorder thing, but it is so diffficult to deal with. (and, PG, I remember the California debacle. What a mess) Dash [/QUOTE]
