I lie to my family everyday
Why do you lie to your family?
It's so they can have peace of mind.
I appreciate that you're doing this to spare them distress.  However, lying to loved ones is wrong.  You should tell them the truth!
Oh, please, don't make me tell them the truth! It would devastate them.
I know that you don't want to stress your parents, but it is never okay to lie to them. I'm sure they can handle whatever you need to tell them.
