I am getting conflicting accounts of what happened from Middle Boy and Younger Boy.

One of them is OBVIOUSLY lying.  The problem is this.  I have NO IDEA which one.

Younger Boy is an amazing manipulator and Middle Boy is an amazing liar. 

I wish there was a basic level of honesty in our home, but there isn't.  I am continually lied to and attempts are made to manipulate me. 

I don't even have instinct telling me who is being truthful.  The way the stories are shaking out though one definitely is and the other definitely isn't.  Neither cares enough about the relationship to come clean.

It's a lonely place for me tonight.
