[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 409482, member: 84"] Bean, very true. I learned to view bff as the "drugs she used" instead of the person I'd once known and cared deeply for. Because once she used daily.......that is basically what I was dealing with, she was no longer herself in any form. Not only that, the drugs dictated her every move, her every desire, her every emotion and thought. During the last 3 yrs of her life, the drug was her universe. Everything else? Was either viewed as a road block to getting the drugs or as a means to get the drugs, including her own children, family, and friends, as well as total strangers. The influence of drugs can cause a person to behave as if they're psychopathic.....because drugs disconnect the emotional part of the brain and mess it up totally, depending on the drug used. [QUOTEAnd I know that a very headstrong adolescence + anger + some developmental issues, especially when an addiction is added to the mix, can really present very similarly to psychopathy. And as far as I'm concerned, whether it's outright psychopathy or just a bad mixture of causative influences that effectively & closely simulate psychopathy, either way--if there's violence in the mix--they might as well be one and the same, and should be responded to with equal wariness and very keen concern for one's safety and that of one's other family members.
