Being around someone prone to deception is choosing to receive a type of mental illness. What the victim knew as reality shifts to what the deceiver wants them to believe. Once a piece of the deceit is uncovered and reality shines through, the deceiver repents and says he will change. This brings the victim back into his deceit. Now, he is a wiser deceiver, for his mistake was revealed. He will avoid that mistake in the future. His victim plunges deeper into insanity.
The only cure is if the deceiver tells the truth when he repents and state he wants to change.

How will the victim know truth from lie? The deceiver has created a situation where the victim sees them as the same.

Can the victim ever TRULY trust him? Even if he proves himself over 100 years, there is a chance that those words of repentance and change were simply a ploy, and he is waiting to reveal. Or not reveal.
