[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 723321, member: 4152"] "Duper's Delight..."Omg. What an interesting and accurate phrase. A friend of mine whom I am deeply conflicted with right now and have posted about exhibited this. Told me a whopper lie (it was grossly obvious to me she was lying) and then had a smirk on her face because she felt she got away with it. Our D.C. (Daughter/Bipolar Illness) lies to me on occasion and lies more often with her father. Her father either doesn't pick up as quickly or is so busy he doesn't particularly care. I caught her in a humongous lie about a year ago. Just a hunch. I said repeatedly "I feel you are not being honest." To my surprise, about three weeks later after swearing up and down she was telling the truth, she confessed. Since then, she hesitates lying with me in particular. A friend with a D.C. use to call her daughter's lying "crazy lying," as often she wasn't threatened in any way etc. she would lie for no particular reason. She was diagnosis' d with borderline personality disorder. (She had other things going on as well) I had a very close bond with my mother. Although she died young, I was still fortunate. How nice you had this with your grandmother. I use to feel similarly that especially since my mother died young...it's a shame and a huge loss that my daughter and I can't be close. But her mood swings, impulsivity and odd behaviors make that impossible. Similar to your daughter, she absolutely can take advantage of us if we are not aware and careful. She has done better in this regard I would say in the last six months...but I try to be alert. Over the years we have set up boundaries for just about everything with her and it has resulted in increments of improvement. She takes her medications regularly etc. I do not spend a lot of time with our daughter. I just can't. I try to recognize and acknowledge her attributes. But she can be very difficult and extra peculiar with me. My health is often affected negatively when I'm around her too much so I keep our visits to a minimum. If you need to do this, I certainly don't think you should feel an ounce of guilt. [/QUOTE]
