How do you handle a step daughter that lies right to your face when you watched the whole scenario and then you question her on it and she says oh I didn't do that, and she lies to her dad and I have to stay out of it. I am not allowed to discipline which she needs desperatly. her dad states that everyone lies, well I disagree, sure people tell little white lies but that doesn't hurt anyone, but step daughter lies and it affects a lot of people around her and she doesn't have a care in the world. it has practically distroyed boyfrioend and my relationship, we are hangiung in there. step daughter and confessed to being a liar and says she can't stop, she went to counseling, what a feasco, counselor never addressed the issue and said she needed to be friend the girl to get her to talk etc...bolony!!! just jump right in and adress the issue and a short meeting. I have done lots of counseling with great success with lots of kids, have not come across a chronic liar tho.
her mother is not really in the picture much as she has many mental health issues, but is getting better I guess and supposedly (overheard stepdaughter gonna move in with mom) I can't see that lasting long, been there done that already a couple yrs ago. This is only a portion of my story. help!!
