[QUOTE="PsychMom, post: 714501, member: 22034"] Wow... seriously sounds like Sal. Parents LOVE him. My dad has said though you can tell he plays stupid about a lot of things. I was thinking "sociopath" but I am going to look up the disorder you talked about. I'm beginning to think maybe we need to take him to a clinical psychiatrist and not a family therapist. The only other person we told was my husbands mother, even she's acting like it didn't happen. She visits frequent and will ask Sal "did you hold your brother today? Here do you want to?" And it makes me so mad. Also I don't think he forms normal relationships with children his age. Since October he's has a "girlfriend" at school and he says they don't even hold hands. When school ended he talked about being excited for Xbox so he could talk to her... then at camp he "fell in love" with a girl he is going to marry but he only knew her three days! I also noticed at parties and outings he gravitated towards either really young kids or the adults. I remember when we didn't have custody his mom said a neighbor accused him of touching his little girl. He was under 10 years old so I assumed had it really happened, it was probably curiosity. My husband says he doesn't remember that. On a day to day he cannot even remember to lock the front door or put the milk back in the fridge. But he remembers if there is something he wants. Like if there is a slushee in the fridge he'll ask me every day for two weeks or if I mentioned going somewhere he wants to go he'll ask everyday til I say we're not going or we go. I know it seems petty but easter time he got in trouble because he had eaten all his candy and all I got for easter was a bag of Reese's. One day he had Reese wrappers in his laundry so I told him to just ask and explained that was all I go and he ate all his candy. I also said there was a "community jar" of candy I didn't care if he took from. Well he then got sneaky and started stealing them while we were sleeping. I was mostly hurt he was being sneaky when all he had to do was ask. His dad made him replace the candy but he exclaimed that he only did it because it was the candy he liked. Is there any treatment or is it a lost cause? My husband has threatened to send him back his mothers which I'm not sure I want. My husband said his mother was a pathological liar and often manipulated siuations in her favor. My mother in law has said she would take him before he was sent back to his moms but she only lives like a block away and she lets him get away with bloody murder. [/QUOTE]
