[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 640626, member: 18366"] I think it has been on my mind this week, obviously because of the holidays but also because I am back in therapy. When my therapist asks about sociopathic behavior, unfortunately the answer is always yes, that describes her to a tee. This is therapist number 4 (over many years) and they all have "got it". (described the behavior as that of a sociopath) I'll think how much I love my daughter and just when I want to reach out I'll remember - oh yeah she steals my pain medications, she wants weird things from me like my laundry detergent or a ream of paper (all just small things she can afford but why pay when she can take them from me?) But all of that pairs in comparison to the ways she is able to manipulate my emotions. She will dig through my thoughts and feelings and hold them in wait until she can either stretch it to it no longer is recognizable or just stab me in the heart with something. Oh my and the unfathomable child hood she has had (rolling eyes here) Truly, she has been lying so long SHE DOES believe it to be truth. Of course truth holds no meaning for her in the first place. Anyway I finally, after kicking myself [I]for what seems like eons.[/I].....had my therapist ask me who her behavior reminded me of in the family.....and with that question I knew exactly who she behaved like, my maternal grandmother. So that finally I had an answer for that! I am so glad I have found all of you here. I have my degree in Pastoral Counseling so, well there pretty much isn't anything I haven't heard and have both empathy and compassion for. Seems like this is going to be a good fit for me for a while. Thanks for the thoughts they are warmly welcomed. [/QUOTE]
