My sister has a diagnosis of hyper mania that she just shared this information with me recently. I have always suspected that she may be bipolar. She is 55 years old. Every since we were young children she has always told lies. Now as an adult she lies constantly. I have always just overlooked her lying until recently I've started to question her on the stories she tells. She almost lives in a fantasy world when it comes to reminiscing bout our childhoods. I just tell her that I don't remember what she's talking about. Should I come right out and tell her that I don't believe her?
What really set me off over the holidays was my sister is a collector of vintage Christmas ornaments. She gave a box of ornaments to my 35 year old son and told him that they were his grandmothers ( my mother who is deceased ) these ornaments were never my mothers! When I told her that I don't remember ever seeing these ornaments while we were growing up she replied mom gave them to me a long time ago. I don't know how to deal with her anymore. Do you know of any good books on dealing with someone like this?
Thank you
