[QUOTE="Crayola14, post: 765258, member: 32414"] I understand your frustration and confusion. I have a relative who lies like that, and my husband has a relative in his extended family who acts that way. They actually believe the lies they tell everyone. It’s hard to understand. They have some type of disorder that isn’t normal. Everyone else in our families just let them talk and never take them seriously. We don’t usually call them out on their lies because they are so messed up that they actually believe their own lies. We never know the real story. We have gotten to the point that we don’t care what they say and never really know the truth. Sometimes they lie because they’re so used to lying that they lie about stuff that they don’t need to cover up or be ashamed of. It becomes a habit and they cannot even have a conversation without lying. However, I understand why that upsets you because in your case it’s your daughter. When it’s extended family, it’s not as bad. I wish I had some advice, but I don’t. I think these people are beyond help in some cases. We just listen without believing anything they say. [/QUOTE]
