She Was Heartbroken To See That Her Daughter Posted A False Narrative of Her Childhood On Social Media, So She Left A Comment Defending Herself
If you’re a parent, have you ever had issues with your kid lying?
One mother was heartbroken to see that her daughter posted a false narrative of her childhood on Facebook, so she left a public comment on the post to defend herself.
Her daughter, Casey, who’s now 23, has always had issues with lying. She’d always find a way to lie about something, big or small.
One aspect of Casey’s lying that was particularly bad was that she’d make up things she was doing throughout the day. For instance, Casey once told her she had gotten into a fight at school when she actually hadn’t.
She and her husband began taking Casey to therapy for her lying issue when she was eight. They were told by three different therapists that her lying was simply a symptom of her young age, but she kept doing it.
“My husband and I focused on teaching her what lies cause, making sure she knew she could come to us with anything, etc.,” she said.
“We’ve always been the type to let our kids make mistakes while knowing we’ll always be there with no judgment, just to help them do better.”
Things started getting a bit better as Casey got older. When Casey was 16, she came out as gay and told her and her husband she had a girlfriend. They were very supportive of Casey and treated her girlfriend as part of the family.
But then, things started getting bad again before Casey turned 18, as she kept lying and getting aggressive.

Casey was eventually diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder but refused treatment. After an ugly incident, she and her husband told Casey she could accept treatment or move out.
“She chose to leave,” she recalled.
“A few years later, she finally agreed to accept help. She’s now 23 and doing a bit better. Casey works as a DEI (diversity, equality, and inclusion) manager for a company.”
For pride month, Casey’s company made individual posts on Facebook to celebrate their LGBTQ+ employees and give them a chance to share their stories. She was very excited to read Casey’s post, but when she finally did, she was very disappointed.
“My heart sank when I read it,” she explained.
“Casey wrote that her parents were not at all supportive when she came out. She added that we had kicked her out of the house for a week after she told us but took her back when we were ‘guilted into it.’ I tried to reach out to Casey, but she didn’t answer.”
She read many comments on Casey’s post from people apologizing for her “traumatic” upbringing. Some commenters were also attacking her and her husband.
She hated seeing this lie so public, so she commented on the post, writing that nothing Casey said was true and that it was hurtful to share such a false narrative.
Then, Casey contacted her and told her to delete her comment. She defended the comment, telling Casey she believed she was lying for attention. So, Casey took it upon herself to delete her comment.
After that, she decided to post evidence of her family’s loving memories in pictures in her own Facebook post.
She posted pictures of pride parades they all went to together, pictures of her girlfriend on vacation with them, etc. Then, she tagged Casey in the post.
This incident has caused a lot of people to realize Casey was lying to her company, and even Casey’s girlfriend called her out on her lies. Now, Casey’s extremely angry at her for “making her look bad.”
Should she apologize for exposing Casey’s lie or stand by her post?
