Patience, validation and boundaries, firm but with love not anger.

Everyone backslides and the lies confound us LBS because the truth would be less destructive and easier to deal with.

Lies are an attempt to hide their own shame and guilt. They will have to address that themselves some day, but it will be easier to rationalize if they are confronted with anger and hostility.

Best of luck to you to find peace with your decision.
