I am so glad that you have the right amoung of meds & that you realize that you lied. I hope that you can recognize if lies do come out in the future that you will be able to catch it & make sure you correct what you said as soon as you realize it was wrong. When people /parents finally start to see that everything you say is right & that they can trust what you say to be true, they will start to be able to trust what you say.

The sad thing is that when lies stop, it doesn't immediatally = trust on the other peoples part. Trust takes time to build back up once it has been lost. Then there is always the problem is that once people have been lied to by anyone, they tend ask for proof by everyone....one lying person in a life causes a general mistrust of everyone for ever, but it does lessen with time once they realize they haven't been lied to

This comes from personal experience unfortunatey. My husband of 33 years was finally Dx'ed with adult ADD at the age of 54. All our married life, he would not only directly lie about things, but would lie by not saying anything (lying by omission). The lies he would tell were also many times because he thought that what he was saying was true.....just because he didn't bother making sure he knew the answer to the question. He woud say what he thought was the right answer, but it wouldn't be.......many times things like this cost me a lot of money as they were huge mistakes like on my phone contract or on paying bills. He would say he did something that he didn't do because he thought he did it.

The problem was that he didn't want to change & didn't feel there was a need. That was right at the time I decided to finally walk out of the marriage after 33 years of this....I finally had my way out & I wasn't about to make any consessions at that point or continue to tolerate anything. I know I will never trust him ever again......but then he doesn't care & doesn't want to do anything about building any trust. You are wanting to make the change & fix the problem. When the other people know this & see that there is a positive action on your part, you will be able to build the trust back & they will be willing to work on trusting again.

Be patient....as they have been patient with you when they have found out about the past lies.

Time will help as long as they keep seeing the effort on your part.

Best wishes in your future,
