I just took a DNA test, turns out I'm 100%.....

Hmmm....a few things... first I see a typo in my post and I can't find an edit button. I put in "Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)" abbreviation, and I meant it as antisocial personality disorder, not auditory processing disorder ( though my son does have that, too, actually). I think a program automatically changed it or...

Heavens to Betsy, I love you people (There, satisfied my fantasy of using an archaic phrase from the 1800s). Thank you for the positive reports on those medications. I agree that medications aren't bad. Sometimes people really need them. I also know that some doctors overprescribe and I do have a bit of a...

I have never heard of this? Is there a name for it? I am all over this. I am so not into medications, and my son seems to get very bad side effects that he has not been able to be on medications. We've been commando, so to speak, for a number of years. If he needs to be on medications, and he may well need them, I...

"My son doesn't seem to understand that the things he does are wrong, or why they're wrong, and shows no remorse or desire to improve himself. " Yep. Totally resonates with me. My son sounds similar. He had to write a letter to the child he sexually offended (offense was by text message, not...

Thank you all. I just got back from visiting him for the first time. It was pretty sad. He was on depakote all day...says it calmed the voices, and made him feel "calm inside" for the first time in a long time. This is good. I told him what was interesting about that is that when we look at him...

Thank you. Yes. We took him to major teaching hospital with good psychiatric reputation. Happens to be not that far from us. I gave them copies of all his records, including abnormal eeg, mri, CT, as well as emails I have from a few experts in pedophilia whom I have reached out to, all of whom have...

Hi all, My son is 18 now. I am the same Otto Von Bismark who posted that my son was a pedophile a few years back (like there are a lot of Otto Von Bismarks running around this community). We have had no end of struggles, as most of you have also experienced. His conduct disorder has been...

My son had conduct disorder. He has graduated to antisocial personality disorder, unfortunately, since he is now 18. As a parent of someone whose brain is not wired to feel guilt, remorse, or to be able to imagine how others may view things, discipline was very difficult, since punishments were...

So sorry. This is heartbreaking. I am pretty much right where you are. My son is inpatient psychiatric right now. Trying medications. He will never be normal. Antisocial personality disorder due to frontal lobe brain damage. Low IQ. Pedophile, so he can't really go anywhere unsupervised. He is 18 and didn't...

Yeah, I see elements of this with my own son, so I understand what you are going through somewhat. I know the visits cause stress. I am sorry you have to deal with this, and I am sorry that he is struggling. It must be horrible for him, too. To be addicted like that. I hope you are feeling better.

Hi to all of you amazing people. I just re-read this thread and was so heartened by your kindness. We have had quite a go of it lately, and I will post an update, but I wanted to let people know I am back. Had some medical issues of my own, so have been off all forums and such for a long time. I...

Yep, praying for her and you. Every little bit helps. Hang in there!

Thank you, you.....you....amazing people. I will keep you posted. Seeing the attorney next week just so we can be proactive. We get results of testing on July 14th. The psychologist doing the testing has recommended two therapy options for us at a university near us. Regular therapists just...

Here is an update: We are going ahead and getting more psychological/cognitive testing done, since there were some doubts that the testing we had done a few years ago was actually accurate. It's a long story in a thread I posted on here somewhere. The new place doing the testing is excellent...

By the way, we have an open dialogue about sex. We have talked about the possibility of him being touched when he was young. He doesn't remember anything, but it came up as "highly likely" in his psychological testing that he had. We have talked about gay/straight/transgender which is all they...

Thank you all all for your replies. When I saw the first reply come to my inbox, I clicked on it from my phone, but didn't realize that that didn't log me in. I needed to log in for the forumbot to give me further notifications that there were other posts. Due to the nature of the topic, I just...

Well, four of our kids are very good athletes (I have two stepsons). My husband is a great coach and has coached most of their sports. Child #4 took her sports seriously, and though she was very gifted athletically, she began to injure herself because her body wasn't ready for what her spirit...

Yep, I started a thread about this in 2012. We have cruised along more or less, thinking we had helped him by controlling his access to the internet, but we recently found a stolen iPod touch with internet in his room and lots of illegal child porn images. VERY DISTURBING. Trying to figure out...

Naw, you didn't get the Terrible Mother of the Day Award, because you give a S*#t about your kids. The Terrible Mother of the Day Award goes to a woman I saw today who sat with her two kids in a stroller for an hour while waiting for an appointment..AND DIDN'T SAY ONE WORD TO THOSE BEAUTIFUL...
