Do any of you suspect your adult children have any personality disorders?

[QUOTE="witzend, post: 540482, member: 99"] I'm unclear as to what a personality disorder is. In the broadest sense, I consider having a personality that makes it impossible to function within the realms of normal society - not caused by a physical disease or disorder - to be a personality disorder. I don't know that the DSM would see it that way. I'm absolutely certain that L is a Borderline Personality Disorder, and will never be ok. She would gut you with a pocket knife if she felt it served her purpose. Although I would not subject myself to M at this point in his life, I do hope that he may find his way someday. It's a stretch, but I hope that if he meets the right girl or loses the right girl he might actually push himself to be a better man. I don't have strong hopes, but I at least feel like I would be ok to tell him "no" and although he might storm off, he would know that "no" means "no". diagnosis-wise? I haven't a clue. It's not my job to know or fix anymore. [/QUOTE]
