What would you do with a father that is either a pathological or compulsive liar?

My Mother was the same way. She'd just lie to be lying. It was always really meaningless stuff too. I just confronted her about it and asked her to stop. And the few times she's slipped up I've just pointed it out. As far as I know she's doing fairly well. But then again, it's not possible for me to know for sure. Your father is much older than my mom though so I don't know if a confrontation would be a good or bad thing. Maybe a family intervention would help. Sit him down and let him know you'd like to remember him for things that were true when he's gone rather than the lies.
