Suppose this continues during all the home years, say up through age 21 when he graduates college and goes out into the world.

By that time, as he becomes an adult, has he not developed the habit of wearing a false persona? Since he learned to lie early (and well), and continued lying for so many years, is he now just fundamentally a liar? and will always be one?
