[quote=Anonymous]Your son reminds me of me at that age. My parents were emotionally unavailable, and my mother was very controlling and I used these techniques to manipulate them into getting what I wanted.  Also I found real life a bit boring, and making up stories in my mind, and sometimes telling them to other people was entertaining. My youngest who is very bright also did a lot if story telling at age 6.  My mother did not allow sweets in the house and I really craved sweets so I stole them. I only got caught once as I recall.

Aside fromm being overweight I grew up fine. I had a very successful career and my kids turned out fine.   I still like to fantasize about different lifestyles, but normally I do not share these stories with others. And I only lie to get out of social situations I don't like. I would never steal or do anything to be hurtful to anyone.

I would suggest family therapy.  Sometimes the brightest, most independent thinking kid in a family acts out as a foil to other family members or behaves badly because they are less able to handle family stress. You will  have to honestly take stock of your whole family dynamic if you want him to get better.  He isn't this way because he was born bad![/quote]
