[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 693778, member: 18958"] Hi rebjoh: I have a different take than do some others. First, conduct disorder is a set of behaviors, not a true diagnosis of a mental disorder, like is depression or anxiety. It is used as a placeholder until the real issues become apparent, later in life. Some kids go on to have antisocial personality disorder while many others do not.I do not place much importance on these cold, dead eyes, or the seeming indifference. My son did a variation of this, and he later told me, this was a reflection of his own feelings of self-hatred, that he had never stopped loving me. I believe him. He is changing back to the personality he had as a child, which was like your daughter, loving, happy, cheerful. Of course SWOT is right, that our children have genetic elements of each of their parents, but there is not necessarily a link between her behavior and anything genetic.There are so many other variables that could be present, that she can potentially work through as she gets older. Nobody can responsibly tell you what happened, because nobody can know, until time passes and your daughter matures, or gets help or not, and new symptoms may or may not appear. The message I would try to take from this is that no quantity of agony experienced by you, no loss or self-punishment will make a difference. You must begin to take care of yourself, and your other daughter. Because you both matter. No more suffering on your part will help her, or you, or clarify the situation. Only time will. [/QUOTE]
