[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 640789, member: 17720"] This is what I am going through right now. When difficult child was in our home, husband agreed (at difficult child's request) to breathalyze him randomly twice a day. difficult child always blew a 0.00, and husband praised him for how well he was doing. After difficult child left, I found some nitrous oxide whippets in his room. I found literally HUNDREDS more in his car, covering the floorboards at least 2 inches deep. I told husband about that, about how that explained how difficult child was blowing 0.00 on his breathalyzer but still got fired from his job and looked so obviously high on something that we could never catch. And husband said he saw one of those little canisters and asked difficult child about it, and that difficult child told him it was whipped cream for his coffee. I don't know why, but that hurts me more than any of the other things difficult child has done. I guess it's because he did it to husband. To me, I can take it better. Doing it to husband, that hurts me far more. That he would take husband's faith in him so callously, that he would lie like that to his own father, who was faithfully checking on him, trying to keep him sober and accountable, at difficult child's request! Whipped cream for his coffee. It seems such a terribly cruel thing to do, to play on his father's faith and gullibility like that. It's made me not really want to hear anything difficult child has to say anymore. It's made me see difficult child in a new light, a very unfavorable light. Another book I found very informative was Martha Stout's The Sociopath Next Door. It is hard to imagine going through life literally not feeling any connection with the feelings of others, except in how to exploit those feelings to bolster themselves. [/QUOTE]
