[QUOTE="Methuselah, post: 539730, member: 12725"] "It's a spectrum, just like bipolar and autism. But the differences do show up on brain scans." I'm sure my daughter's brains would have hot spots on scans, but my point is they are very much in control of their behavior, unlike autism or bipolar. They patiently wait for the most opportune time to do their bad with lowest probability of getting caught. If they have to wait 5 minutes or 5 weeks, they can and will and not feel badly for one second. Yes, it is on a spectrum. There are psychopaths who are violent and those who aren't; just like there are violent people who are psychopaths and violent people who aren't. "Adults LOVED him. His foster parents who had him for five years before us swore he was their favorite foster child ever and that he just loved to help around the house and with the daycare kids (I'll bet he liked to help with the daycare kids. He was a sexual predator). I don't think they ever believed us when we told them about him. NOBODY could believe it. Because he acted like such an angel to adults" This is the most frustrating part! My difficult children present as wonderful, kind, sweet girls and my husband and I come off as lunatics who don't support or believe in their daughters! No matter how many ways we show and prove their sad truth, people still don't believe us. We had one family, whom difficult child 2 stole from their daughter and difficult child 1, at 16, was already to let their kindergartner get a beating with a belt for something she did, say to us after each of those episodes "We still love them!!!" I am still dumbfounded that they still fall for their koi, even when I worn them it is koi. That's how good at conning and charming my daughter's are. :-( [/QUOTE]
