Yes it is possible but it is hard work and there is no 'quick fix'. The best thing you can do is speak to your gp or local doctor about the problem and they can advise you on steps you can take and possibly refer you to a counsellor. The first step is accepting you have a problem and you are a liar, and realising the effect the lies have on your friends and your loved ones. Good luck

How do you stop a pathological parental from lying and then turns around and calls his 9 year old daughter a liar instead when you know the parent is the liar.?

You can't help a pathological patient like that. You simply just can't up and do it. This needs to be handled by doctors,professionals. Not someone such as yourself. Ask for help,some sort-of profession help (ex. phsycologist.) And if it's nessacary,and no one can get to him,he will be given medication. Simple as that.


How do you deal with your chid who you suspect to be a pathological liar?

first of all this has nothing to do with narcissism as children often show signs of narcissism that go away as they get older second of all there is no such thing as a pathological liar as lying compulsively is not a disease or abnormality finally: I'd stop believing them and try ingraining the story of the boy who cried wolf into their head but I'm no expert on parenting considering I'm only 15 years old

You think you are a pathalogical liar because you have researched it and do everything it says and admit there is a problem what can you do to stop this with out treatment?

It is very difficult to change a personality disorder like this without therapy. Of course, since you are a pathological liar, you are probably lying now. However, you can try rewarding yourself when you tell the truth. Sometimes that helps to break a bad habit.

Will someone who is a pathological liar lie to everyone and do they ever stop lying?

That is a question which has been kicked around for eons. If a person is truly pathological they are unable to tell the difference between lies and truth. Most liars choose lies simply because they are easier than the truth. Changing a liar into a truthful person is impossible until you can make them understand that lying is more work, less profitable, and usually useless from the onset. Regrettably, I've yet to find a liar that could be reformed. One either is, or is not a truthful person. If one is, by habit a liar, it is unlikely they will ever change. Ditto for the truthful person. They don't see the up side of lying and never developed the technique of lying, so they aren't very good at it. I think there are times when lying is less work, more profitable and useful . " The check is in the mail. Those pants don't make you look fat. It's company policy. That line of dresses runs small and so you need to go one size up.


What should you do if you've been married to a pathological liar for 3 years and you recently answered a call from your husband's friend asking if you were over your operation but you never had one?

Pathological liars are like run away locomotives. They just can't stop! It's an illness and usually learned from childhood. Some children may have extremely strict parents, are made to feel stupid, unproductive, etc., and so, when asked if they did something they shouldn't have done will lie. The more under-lying factor about pathological liars is they have no self esteem and feel they need to dramatize their situation to look more important in the eyes of their peers. Pathological liars need therapy! I have talked to a couple of pathological liars and they openly admit they know they are doing it, feel really bad, but can't seem to stop. Unfortunately, men are usually very bad at seeking help for themselves, while if you bring this problem up to a woman who is a pathological liar they almost always will go and seek help through therapy to get to the bottom of why they do this. I would suggest that you sit and talk to your husband. Tell him about his friend phoning about that operation, and tell him it's "not normal" to act in this way. Ask him (mainly out of curiosity) why he would lie to his friend like that. Tell him if he doesn't go to a good therapist ( you go with him) and seek help you are leaving! Mean it! Good luck Marcy
