[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 298717, member: 1233"] Twinners, ALL WSM is trying to do is to keep the family safe from this child. He shows many many signs and red flags for sociopathy (antisocial personality disorder) and he is a very very scary child. On the surface, yes, it seems the "poor kid" could use some "comfort". However, the child is kept away from the rest of the family because he is NOT SAFE to have around the other kids/adults. Not only does he destroy things but he also hurts people and has done all he can to destroy just about everything. WSM is ONLY pushing to have the child kept in his room because it is what CPS (Children's Protective Services, may be under a different name in different parts of the country) said to do. CPS SAID TO DO THIS!!! It is NOT WSM being mean. She is trying her best to get the "poor child" into a treatment facility so that he has some sort of chance in life. If left at home he will NOT be anything resembling a safe and contributing member of society. Often when we are new here we can see/hear of things that really are heartbreaking. But as parents of difficult children, we know that often what can seem like "cruelty" is what is needed to keep everyone safe. WSM's husband is an alcoholic from a very dysfunctional family. There is a LOT of mental illness on both sides of the difficult child's family. Her H is doing all he can to control who gets what info about difficult child so that no one "takes difficult child away" or sees he is a "bad parent". WSM is hanging on in the situation because she is quite certain that her stepdau will be abused to the point her spirit is destroyed if she leaves. From teh descriptions of the difficult child, the boy refused to bond with her no matter what she did. In the beginning she did a LOt for the difficult child. So even though it is HARD, dang hard, a real parent has to do what is best for the family, ALL of the family. That is all WSM is trying to do. [/QUOTE]
