[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 553723"] My difficult child 1's bio-dad is also a sociopath. I think with difficult child 1 we are battling some of the mental illness that turned his dad into what he is. It has been a very hard road but with lots of therapy, medications, and work on my part difficult child 1 is more emotionally mature than his bio-dad. I think difficult child 1 will not turn out like his bio-dad. He does not enjoy hurting people. I am still working with difficult child 1. What I have found to work best as consequences are pointing out natural consequences. "If you are not nice the other kids won't want to play with you." "If you don't shower. You will stink and the other kids will make fun of you." "If you hurt your brother I can't trust you and you can't be alone with him." "If you threaten to hurt me you can't be with me." I have been very blunt, very strict, and its not fun. (My husband thinks I need to be stricter, too.) We have also had a time out room where difficult child 1 could go to rage safely. The others have given you great advice about testing. Good luck and welcome. [/QUOTE]
