Please Help.

I want to tell my mom about my lying but I know she'll say I'm using it as an excuse or to get sympathy. How do i tell her in a way that doesn't make me look like I'm trying to get out of the lies I've told? I'm ready to accept the consequences of what I did but I also want her to know why I lie so much.

I think the best thing to do is just tell her outright that youve been lying and you want to stop. Then just dump it all out. I don't think she will think you are trying to get sympathy but will help you work thru it. Good luck.
