[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 549832, member: 3930"] This is a great conversation. I appreciate all the viewpoints. My difficult child appears callous and uncaring in the moment and on the surface but much later on he will reflect and feel bad but he internalizes it. It comes out as "I hate myself" or "I want to die" rather than "I'm sorry for what I did". Does that make sense? If he hurts his brother he will act like he doesn't care or may even laugh. I am hoping to God he feels bad but just doesn't show it. I really think he internalizes it. I just don't understand the calculated and premeditated ways he terrorizes people. I don't understand the function he is serving when he does this. [/QUOTE]
