How? Isn't it hard when you have become so used to it?
My mom was a big rewarder of telling the truth even if it was not good. She punished us more if she caught us in a lie so we learned it ws OK to tell the truth....most of the time :)
But, my brother-in-law was always, still is, a blatant liar. He will look you right in the eye and lie and we are so used to it we don't say a word. It's disgusting and I hate it.
Big lies. Like "I killed so many men when I was in Haiti". WTF?? And he has manipulated life to suit his lies.
Could he ever stop lying?
You must have suffered so much trying to negotiate your young life around your mothers illness.
