I am lucky in that the kids talk to me quite a bit. They still try to protect me somewhat. I just wish their Dad would grow a lie detector system that went off every time he lied so he could "hear" for himself. On second thought, he would probably just think it was broken!

Love it! I mean, it's pitiful, but spot-on. That audiobook I listened to about regret-free living talked about liars. Eventually they become so accustomed to lying that they actually begin to see the truth itself, as relative. I think sometimes lying comes to them like throwing your arm up if you see an object flying toward your face--an instant, self-protective reaction. They come up against any obstable or conflict and quickly toss out the lie to 'fix' the problem and cover their own butts.
But, yeah, it does feel good to have a clean conscience, doesn't it?!
