lying

My oldest son is 22 and has been battling with anxiety and drug abuse for the past two years. I'm not sure what drug he is abusing - I think it is some sort of Xanax or benzo or something. He becomes a different person. He lies to me - everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. He steals...

We have taken in a child of one of our family members. He is 12 years old and has autism, ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder. Some progress has been made within the last year after starting ABA therapy but the same few behaviors are consistent. I will go through a normal day with him to give...

Hi am new to this forum so hoping someone can give me some advice or at least some support as am actually heart broken. My adult sister is 35 years old and she is constantly stealing and lying. A lot of times she lies about little things that I pick up on my but never say anything. As kid it...

Can anyone relate to this with their child? Our son has been lying to us for years and years and it comes SO easily to him. He will lie to us even when we present him with evidence. It's so distressing. I had to add it to the questionnaire for the clinic we are looking at for him. I looked up...

Almost a year ago my 13 year old twin step sons came to live with their father and I. Their behavior at their mother's was so out of hand, she didn't want to have them in her home anymore. We've found that 90% of the time they are the carefree, respectful kids we've always known but if anything...

I am new to this forum but I am glad that there is a place where I can vent and try to get additional information. My concern is my 12 y/o granddaughter (gd). She is my biological gd the daughter of my 33 y/o daughter. I raised her from 3 months until 5 years, when my son (C) and his wife (K)...

My son turned 18 last week. I'm coming to terms with the reality that the amazing child I brought into the world seems to have squandered the gifts he was born with and it's looking less and less likely he'll live a life to be proud of. From age 11 he started becoming difficult at school, lying...

Hi this is my first time on here after spending years searching the internet for a reason why my 11 year old daughter is so horrible and nasty where I came across this forum. Her behaviour has been out of control really from the age of 2 she started off swearing then hitting and scratching her...
