Hello cheryl jacobs: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to Psych Central.  Here are links to 3 articles that may be of interest, from Psych Central's archives, on the subject of lying... both compulsive as well as pathological:
Lying: A Case of Fiction Addiction?
Deliberately Untruthful: Normal vs. Abnormal Lying
How Self-Loathing and Self-Worshipping Lead to Lies
I hope you find PC to be of benefit.
