how to stop him lying
by angle925, Jun 18, 2008 01:45PM
My Brother is 25 year old and he was lying that he is in school since 4 years. My parents trusted him and give money to him for books and education. He was using this moeny in partying, drinking, expensive electronic. He claimed that he was in the Medical School for 2 years. but in reality he has not even completed his undergrade.
When my parents talks to him about his lie. He says I am not lying and since you are not trusting me and away from me I have not point of Leaving this life. When my father asked him to call the school, he used his friend. He sent his friend the script in writing that I am going to call you. He is asking for money to spend even after he knows that his parents now know the truth. When my father does not give him money, he thretens him with not eating for few day and writing latter that you are bat parents. NOw I have no faith in you and in life etc.
His parents have always treat him nicely still he gives this in return. He is not ready to communicate with his parents. He leaves in his parent's appartment were he does not allow his parents to come in.
He is not ready to tell the truth on the top of it, he threats my parents for not giving him money to just partying.

This situation depicts a very troubled relationship between your brother and your parents. It will not change unless the parents see the futility of what they are doing and stop deferring to your brother's coercive threats.
