This is a subject that is very serious to me. I am one of 4 sisters and one Brother. I am "the middle child" My sister that is one year older than me, is what I call a habitual liar. She could not tell the truth if it meant that her life depended on it. She has been  this way as long as I can remember. Her habit if not telling the truth continues to this day and has gotten progressivley worse. As a child she ran away from home constantly, did drugs, slept with strangers, tried suicide and things I dont even care to mention and/or remember. Her 3 year old son died when she was 21 and like I mentioned, she has progressivley gotten worse with the lies. She now ( for the past few years) tries to convince the family that she is blind she gets assistance from SSI and walks around the family with a cane however,  when she isn't around the family she walks around freely with no cane and while in conversation has said things like"I love that sweater" or "you have a speck of something on your face" She gets totally PO'd when you say something that lets her know you dont believe her. I have told her I dont believe her. She got angry and she got over it, she doesn't talk to me much but I would rather not talk to her if this is the way she wants to live. She goes from Doctor to Doctor to get medications hospital to hospital for treatments. and we have tried desperately to talk to Doctors and Nurses to let them know what she is doing. No one will listen!! she has claimed she has cancer, liver disease, kidney disease, Brain tumors, hip replacements, Melanoma.... The list is a mile long. Now I believe she is anorexic she is 49 years old and if she weighs 80# I would be more than surprised. I have no clue as well as the rest of my family, as to how to help her. My parents are 69 and 80 and she keeps them in a constant state of worry. It drives me insane. I just believe that there is no help for her and if this young lady on your show doesnt get some help now this is what her parents could be looking at in the not so distant future. I am looking forward to this show because I have often thought about what you would say about my sister the liar.
