[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 83086, member: 1545"] Wow ... Just a thought ... could the racial slurs be an attempt to express his anger at your involvement with your significant other? Diversity - "it's part of our social circle"! But is it a part of his social circle at school? Or is it a typical mainstream school where the majority of families fit into the tidy box? At this age kids are [b]ALL ABOUT[/b] conformity. Since your family configurations are outside of the 'mainstream', he may be feeling ostracized. Kids are cruel ... is it possible that he is being teased (my daughter was once teased because my hubby is overweight)? Did I mention how cruel kids are at this age? Our daughter acted out her freshman year of high school. She spent more time in the behavior class than in her mainstream classes. Later (after we had removed her from the high school) she bravely began to tell us how she was being abused by her peers. Is it possible that your son is being bullied? Might be time to add some family therapy to the mix ... I see he attends solo ... but some of these things might be due to family stressors. I doubt he's a true sociopath. It sounds to me like he's a kid just trying to find his fit in the world. [/QUOTE]
