[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 68237, member: 30"] I have a mantra that I keep running thru my head when dealing with my difficult child or anyone concerning her: [b]We teach people how to treat us.[/b] To me that means that when we allow anyone to disrespect us in anyway, we are condoning that behavior when we participate with them, even in a conversation. It seems to me that my own difficult child finds it easier to lie to me than to tell me the truth. It's not that I am so special, she does this to everyone, and appears to believe her lies. Obviously, it works for her in some way. If I know that she is telling me a tall tale, I change the subject. I find it insulting to be lied to. Maybe my mantra could help you too. [b]We teach people how to treat us.[/b] [/QUOTE]
