[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 83087, member: 59"] OMG is this story familar. I don't think you are raising a sociopath. "He has a conscience and says he is sorry. But he has also said that before, as recently as two weeks ago when his anger was getting the best of him at home and school. He is able to admit that the added pressures of high school application processwhich includes this tutoringare stressing him out and is the reason he has such a short fuse." The good news is he has a conscience and he is self reflective. "There are people starving, unable to get proper medical care, education, jobs. Hes blessed to be only upset about homework and the racial/sexual orientation of his family." I hear you. Our difficult child is angry that she is adopted. Get over it already. So were nine other kids in her eight grade class and who knows how many in her hs class. She isn't the only one and she is darn lucky she has us for parents. I'm tired of paying the price for her birthmother placing her for adoption. How dare she...would she rather have been aborted. (Sorry my rant is coming out too) I worry that my difficult child is a sociopath. She has no conscience it seems, never says she is sorry, and lies about anything and everything even when she is caught red handed. I caught her smoking the other day and said "J are you smoking?" she looked right at me and said 'No'. Good news is she never hurt little animals or started fires or wet the bed, the telltale signs of a sociopath. Still I wonder. I understand the worry about hs. We had to give up on difficult child attending a private hs because of her discipline record. We are now having to lower our expectations further by accepting the fact that she will not go to college and in a year and a half will have to find a job and support herself, with no training or further education. I would try medications again if I were you. We are doing that route again also after many years without. Nancy [/QUOTE]
