What do you do when you find out you're married to a pathological liar who has a dependent personality disorder?

Answer 1

You deal with the child in any way that works for you. Usually this involves setting boundaries as to how much you will help them, whether with housing or money or otherwise. Above all, you cannot risk your wellbeing doing things that the other person can do for themselves. Despite hard luck stories, people search for the easiest way to obtain what they want and need and you don't need to be their "go-to" person. However, you can still love the child, offer them time and emotional encouragement while keeping your distance. Find a good friend or therapist who will help keep you on track with the dilemmas I am sure the child presents.

Answer 2

What do you want to do?

You can go to counseling.

You can obtain a divorce for irreconcilable differences.

You can do nothing.

Get counseling right away, for yourself. If he will go that would be great but since he lies it won't do him any good unless he wants help. You need to go for yourself.

Answer 3

Answer 4
