This is something, even as an A that I just do not get. Why lie? Why are they lying to anyone? We are talking about adults here. Yes I have relapsed, I don't hide it. Maybe I'm just too old to keep lies straight. I would love to lie to my parents so they stop smothering me! They live in Alaska so it would be easy to pull off. But I am 54 years old, and I just don't lie... And I do not understand what they are gaining by lying.
