Nope....lying was never my thing nor has it ever been. Told my H (EX now) that lying would get him nowhere because I have my ways of learning the truth & my wrath would be worse for him if I found he lied than any reaction to truth he might tell me. Same applied to our daughter. H kept lying because he was so sure what he said was the truth until confronted by reality. Our daughter got it & had no problems with her. So glad not to live around his lies any more no matter how innocent he tried to act.....his other favorite thinking was "if I don't actually SAY anything then it's not a lie" witholding information is STILL A LIE!!!! It cost him his marriage. I am sure that is the way he grew up too.
