[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 594353"] I think/know that my brother is a sociopath and it fills me with dread. It just became undeniable this week and he's 52, we are partners in a family business and I have no idea how to cope with this knowledge. So when I saw your post, I had to click. No advice except to say that it's definitely hard wired. I have come to the realization that expecting him to have be moral being is like expecting a fox to be a dog. They may look the same from a distance, they may have similar body mechanics under their skin, but they are different animals. I know that probably isn't helpful and I'm sorry. That said, my difficult child bro is 52 and his psyche is complete. Your son still has some brain development ahead. The myelin that gels moral behavior & governs risk taking is not yet complete. Your son may be a bit ott but he seems to land on his feet. I think that's a good sign that he may end up well equipped to lead a good life some day. We all know many grown and seemingly conservative men who admit to being hellions in their earlier years. [/QUOTE]
