[QUOTE="WSM, post: 281684, member: 5169"] I believe difficult child is an emerging psychopath. I've shared that with husband which he does not appreciate. Very few professionals will diagnosis antisocial personality disorder in people as young as difficult child. It's supposedly not diagnosable before age 18 (unless I supposed you murder a bunch of people). But all psychopaths had a childhood. If you say that to a professional and you are a stepmother, they just think you are a jealous stepmother who hates her stepchild. I think also difficult child has some mental illness, it does run strong in his maternal family (and there is austism and probably personality disorders such as histrionic and dependency and narcissistic PDs in husband's family--but those are undx'd). I used to think the mix of personality disorder to mental illness was 40 to 60 with- more personality disorder. Now I think the mental illness is around 20 percent. And I've had the thought that he's faking the mental illness: after all, it's getting him: poor difficult child, he's troubled, he's sick, he needs help, we need to go easy on him. Maybe not. I do think even if he's faking some, he's not faking all: he does have some obsessive compulsive behavior and some anxiety. [/QUOTE]
