[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 571073, member: 1514"] I agree with the others that you are dealing with much more than your average clear diagnoses. There is something serious going on here. I would guess that his early childhood where he saw some of the abuse between you and your ex did effect him and then you being gone so much in the military didnt help things. You couldnt help that but I am going to place bets that your mom and you didnt parent in the same way. At the moment I would say that spankings will not work and I am a parent who does believe in spanking under certain situations but from the way you describe your son's reactions, I dont think it will work. As far as can a child of your son's age become a sociopath? Yes. There is a book out by Jonathan Kellerman called Savage Spawn: Reflections on Violent Children that is an excellent book on this subject. Yes I realize that Kellerman is mostly known for writing fiction but he is also a child psychologist and he writes non-fiction too. He is an excellent phd child psychologist. Its not a thick book so it doesnt take long to get through but it will leave you with a really profound understanding of the psychology of violent kids. [/QUOTE]
