Collecting a list of transgressions hinders communication

But why is demanding an unhypocritical life so troublesome?
Someone tell me I'm sane!!!
It's all relative. This isn't one of your sanest areas. The kid doesn't like you or trust you or something you enough to open up. He's keeping you at a distance. It's not something to lose sleep over; it's a common technique kids use to deal with their parents' divorces.
But if you're looking at him not mentioning that he doesn't like pasta as an "untruth" and you have compiled a long list of such transgressions, you're not providing an environment that is likely to lead him to open up more.
