Why does everything have to include a lie? Why is it too much to expect that my child can form one sentence without telling a lie? It has gotten to the point where I do not believe anything that he says to me. He has no "tells" when he lies. And I end up feeling angry and annoyed when I find out the truth. I know that I can only control my reaction, but I am so tired of having to verify everything. I have nothing left to take away from him - literally (phone, time with friends, leaving the house except for school - it is all gone). I need to remind myself to breathe. Thanks for listening
