Yeahm that is a problem... I have a step-son (about 27 now) who fits the
description well, you can see him do something wrong, and he'll sware
something else entirely happened. of the "who you gonna believe me, or your
lying eyes" variety. He's not all that good at it, either. Since he was 14,
he's spent the majority of his life in secure institutions.. proof that
whatever he thinks his life plan is, it's not working...
