[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 696502, member: 11791"] Pushing therapy sometimes works - and sometimes backfires majorly. There is no better than a 50/50 chance of therapy having had impact to begin with. This isn't something to beat yourself up over. You did the best you could with what you knew. Your son will have biological traits from his dad/your husband. If this man was difficult, then there is a good chance that son will also be difficult. It's not just from being raised around that influence - although that doesn't help. But a major factor is simple genetics. Not an uncommon guy problem. And more significantly majorly common in guys with mental health issues. You are describing him "now". What was he like at 2 and 6 and 12 and 15? If he's never been "compassionate" or "empathetic", then the problem isn't just the results of what he experienced as a soldier. He may be wired differently. There may be developmental challenges and/or mental health issues at play. [/QUOTE]
