Hi Kyle!

If possible, therapy is always helpful to get to the bottom of issues.

Thank you for bearing with me! Just a couple more questions checking my understanding of the situation.

Is it mostly just your mom that you lie to? Or other people as well?

Was your mom trying to limit the time you spent with your dad at the time of the false report?

How has your mom responded to each of these mistakes that you made? Was she angry or upset? How did she react?

Can you tell me more about when you felt shot down and ostracised?
