[QUOTE="Malika, post: 467031, member: 11227"] It is difficult indeed to talk about this without seeming to cast "blame", which is actually the very last thing that is appropriate or helpful in the situation. EPT is obviously facing a tremendously difficult and distressing situation, which you eloquently evoke, buddy. My question was very genuine: has your son, EPT, ever demonstrated affection or bonding with anyone or anything? Not fun, not being charming - wasn't talking about that, Janet - but any minimal signs of empathy or of what I believe is called cathecting, the forming of emotional attachment? Lord knows, I would not want to start trying to diagnose or claim any level of understanding for what is going on. I am just uneasy about the notion of a small child being truly "evil". As I'm sure some will understand. In any event, I have nothing but sympathy and admiration for EPT. [/QUOTE]
