What should i do about a lying family member?

Question

they have lied about being raped. about sexual orientation, and about being in a mental institution. i don't know how t be supportive in this situation

Answer 1

Are you 100% sure they are lying, or do you just not want to believe the things they are saying?

Answer 2

you can't, no matter what. Until they want to help themselves and stop telling lies. Next time they try to tell you something that you know is a lie, have fun with it and tell them you won the lottery. If they ask for any of it, tell them they can only have some (very small amt) if they fess up to their lies and stop lying about anything in the future.

Answer 3

You support them by confronting them with the truth and tell them all liars go to h**l, do not pass go do not collect 200$!

Next time you catch them in a lie, say this to them again or say "Well, It's YOUR lie,I will let you tell it YOUR way."

Tell them they can lie to others and fool them, they can even lie to themselves to justify their lies and their bad choices and behaviors, but they CANNOT lie to GOD and make HIM believe it.

Until they are honest with themself and own up to their bad choices and decisions and take responsibility for their behavior, then their life will NEVER be any better.

One last option is to go Islam on them and cut their tongue out,but I think that is illegal here.

Answer 4

do u mean they are denying that they have been raped, are g*y, and have been in a mental institution or are they saying that these things happened when they didnt.  they can deny these thing if they want to and let them admit it when ready.  but if they are lying to get attention just ignore it.  

Answer 5

How do you know they weren't raped? Were you in the room when it "happened"? I doubt it. Just because you don't believe them doesn't mean they're lying. I know people who were raped and the people involved would want to keep that from being considered true. Maybe you are like them, I don't know. Confront this person about it and admit perhaps that you can't believe them for the reason that you can't. Medical records won't always tell you the truth. They only tell what the patient wants to tell, and if they were raped, it would either show they were, or they weren't a virgin, or perhaps someone got to their doctor and made it possible to have the person be seen as a liar. Just because you think doctors aren't frauds doesn't mean they aren't. Be open-minded, it's people like you who keep people like them from getting justice. I'm sorry but this is something that is close to me and people I know, and to see that there are still people out there wishing to believe lies is very sad. Maybe you shouldn't talk to her at all. After all, she needs supportive people who will help her with what did actually happen, not losers who keep trying to convince themselves this person is lying.
