[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 761887, member: 23706"] Compulsive lying can indicate a personality disorder. We spent time with both a psychiatrist and then a therapist when I was at my worst and this trait puzzled me too so I asked about it and it was discussed. I did not hear what I wanted to hear but it gave me insight into what I could not understand. We decided, and I agree, that my daughter is likely borderline. Chronic lying for no reason is a mental health red flag. It indicates something is very wrong and unless they care enough to really want to fix it, and to fix whatever else is wrong, it doesn't usually change. My daughter has to also have bipolar...she is rageful at times. So we can't fix them. They have to do it. It's on them. Calling them out on lies doesn't stop them. Kay would lie about lying....She would also burst into "Why do you try to make me look bad?" rants. We quit bringing up her lies when she said them. Just caused fights. Kay has no desire to fix herself or to admit anything is wrong with her. It's me, it's being adopted, the world is against her so why should SHE get help? I should! Trust me, I have and still do. Have you ever seen good therapist? Prayers and love. I am so sorry. Know exactly your frustration [/QUOTE]
