Is my mom a pathological liar?

Question

I'm 16 turning 17 in a month. I'm starting to think my moms mind games are from being a pathological liar. This is what she does:

Exaggerates constantly.

Cries to her friends about our family problems that have happened 5 years ago.

My dad has CHF and is in the hospital it seems like every 1-2 months and she acts like shes so stressed out and goes nuts when hes in the hospital! Its almost so fakey but when I say something she gives me h**l and tells everyone that im selfish and doesnt understand how bad she has it.

She has got my aunt fooled (my fathers own sister) into beliving that im a selfish spoiled brat.

She went to my aunts house lastnight with my brother "making it look like she was bringing food" over to her that we didnt need. But in reality she was bringing him over so she can talk about our family problems. She even asked me 3 times if I wanted to go which was unusual. After they got over there, my mom some how brings up about my dad being in the hospital and how they treat him. Then somehow switched it up to how I bad I treat my dad and talking about school and different things that have happened be and skipping school (which happened 5 years ago).

My brother told me all this today what happened yesterday, and my dad confronted her. She turned it all around and blamed it on me saying that I need an education and its because I dropped out) which i'm already planning on getting my GED and she knows it. She got my aunt all riled up and mad at me. She even got on my brother a little bit. But if my dad says something to my aunt, she will think that hes just sticking up for me. She has us cornered!

She goes to her friends house and then comes back with stories of what happened! She then calls up all her other friends and tells what happened.

She doesnt like people who she thinks are better than her. She will get really jealous of them.

This question comes from my other questioned I asked. Some people said it sounds like shes a pathological liar. I googled it and it gave me symptoms and everything sounds like her. I just have so much to say I dont know where to start! My question I posted earlier is http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080901180710AApoBCf&r=w

Answer 1

Your mother is a Drama Queen.  She feeds off of the sympathy from tragedy.  The more tragic, the more sympathy she gets.  It will eventually backfire on her.  She will be the one that everyone hates to see come visit because she has always got a problem.  I know people like that.  We used to pray for them in prayer groups "Oh Phil's cousin's, uncle's, dog's' goldfish flipped out of the tank and died in front of the little 3 year old at his Birthday party and the Party was completely ruined and the chid is traumatized because Phil had to explain death to the child".  Is that your mother?  I think so. People get tired of that c**p.

Pathological Liars, I thought, were people who lied about facts like a college degree, birthplace, serving in military, etc.  But I could be wrong.
