Thank you for your response! At first I wasn't sure if he knew his lies were real or not. After the notebook full of military stories I was certain he believed his stories...however he told me he knew they weren't real after I"cracked the case". I found out the stories were not true because like any girlfriend...we can become detectives pretty easily. I looked on his computer, email, facebook and talked to his exwife (they have a daughter together so when he was in the locked down floor we had talked). When I confronted him about it he admitted it all, cried and said he couldn't stop lying. I guess I wasnt 100 percent sure what psychosis is, I've only read stuff online.
I came to the "family day" at his outpatient program but we basically talked about his self esteem/control issues. Never brought up the lying but it was only about an hour long. It was with 10 other people and he said he didn't want to be judged. He started counseling after but I have no idea what they address.
So basically he's just a compulsive liar who's depressed. I still feel for him but gosh, it makes me angry. I hope he gets help tho.
