SS13 has a big problem with lying. He lies about everything and I have no idea how to handle it anymore. He doesn't take ownership for anything, will blame others for all him problems and responsibilities he lets go by the wayside. He lies to manipulate people, get out of trouble, get people to buy him things, get people to "like" him better and then plays it off as nothing when he is caught. If he apologizes its because he was found out, not because he feels bad about lying.

He is also very sneaky and is always rummaging through my things, eavesdropping on my phone conversations and trying to look over my shoulder when I'm at the computer. Then later on he will try to ask a nonchalant question regarding the very thing you had no idea he was snooping in on. Argh!
I know he is being deceitful and he asks coyly "why are you so so upset" :sick:

How in the world can I get it through his head that this is unacceptable? (nonetheless extremely creepy to me) He's like a mini slick used car salesman all day long, telling tall tales and trying to lure people into doing everything for him so he doesn't have to lift a finger and can play with his toys all day. I wish he just wouldn't talk to me because then I don't have to deal with the constant lies, how can someone so young act in such a disturbing way?

Yes, I have thought of sociopath...I actually asked my mother about this. It just seems like at that age everyone want to put some other label on him...anything but that.

That is great about the writing assignment, I would love to use it next time. Honestly though, his handwriting is illegible 99% of the time and he cannot form complete sentences or coherent thoughts on paper, even though he can read and speak clearly and coherently. The neurologist calls it dysgraphia.

I am so sick of running this kid around to every neurologist, counselor, psychiatrist, psychologist etc. to no avail. He is so good at manipulating that they just think he is a sweet misunderstood kid and I end up looking like the nut job. Only a few in DH's family know how he really is, everyone else just thinks I am an inexperienced parent since I have no kids of my own.
