[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 627036, member: 13561"] I'm a little surprised at the idea that someone who is mentally ill has to want to change. I'm not being a smart alec here, but do they have the capacity to want to change? Is it all a matter of how serious their mental illness is? My difficult child has flashes of remorse and empathy (which may disqualify him from being a true socio/psychopath-MY diagnosis, by the way, NOT a medical one. So you know how solid THAT is, haha!) but sometimes I wonder if those feelings come through to serve HIM. And when things work out for him, he doesn't WANT to change. Know what I mean? [/QUOTE]
