ACMESkydiver 0 #26 November 21, 2006 Not to try to 'top that', but leapdog you've got it easy with this guy, to tell you the truth... Some relatives by marriage of mine have the 'liars and attention hogs' syndrome to the extreme; undiagnosed mental illness kind of extreme. It's scary enough that I don't allow my kids to be alone with them any more, and that's really sad to me, because I know that they love my kids...but I cannot ever trust those two women again. One made up stories of attempted murder and would have her tiny little daughters perpetuate her attention-seeking fantasies...she would blame her lies and theft on her daughters, right in front of them. She'd say that they were the ones that were stealing my daughter's clothes and toys...she'd look at her daughter and scorn, 'I told you not to do that!' -she didn't know that I had heard her tell her daughter to go upstairs and get some of my daughter's clothes... It used to make me so intensely mad; now I'm just sad for them. Sad that they are trapped and can't find the door that leads back to reality, and probably never will. Very sad that men stick around long enough to inseminate the crazy girl and find out that she's nuts and take off. I hope this latest boyfriend sticks around, really I do...he was one of the girl's dads...but his track record is as shitty as hers. At least they'll have 8 months together; that'll be a new record for her! It just makes my heart break to think about them any more. Sorry, dude! You just got me off on a tangent. In response to your original post...the guy you are talking about sounds like just your garden variety idiot, not someone that has real problems upstairs. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

leapdog 0 #27 November 21, 2006 I know two people exactly the way you described. Except one person isn't a one up, they just lie just to be able to tell a story to say yeah that happened to me too. so they can piggy back on the stories that you tell that are the truth.

leapdog 0 #28 November 21, 2006 I read you loud and clear. My brother stole an $8,000 check from my father. just went into the house and wrote it forging his name. Later when confronted he told my father I did it and when I confronted him he told me that my father said he could write the check and then after the check was cashed my father changed his mind and got pissed because it was too late. He usually adds just enough truth to anything he lies about and presents it in such a way that you second guess your self thinking that since you have no real proof that it is possible he is telling the truth. Until it happens so often that begine to see when he is doing. By that time he has already found another victim to move on to. Except with family he just stops contacting us I haven't spoken to him in about 2 years because I am on to his bullshit and he knows it.
