[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 690969, member: 19951"] SWOT- It's very possible son has Narcissistic Personality Disorder: Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism. A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs. You may be generally unhappy and disappointed when you're not given the special favors or admiration you believe you deserve. Others may not enjoy being around you, and you may find your relationships unfulfilling. It doesn't excuse his coldness, his list of supposed wrongs and most of all, his lack of respect and gratitude for you. YOU saved him from that orphanage. I too was in an orphanage, albeit, about 6 months but not 6 years. In my little time there, I was so scared, insecure, just wanted my sister, who was 3 years older, but housed in another cottage on the grounds of orphanage. It effected me, being there, growing up. I had grandparents who gave up their golden years to adopt and raise us. YOU were the bigger person, meeting to attempt reconciliation. No parent would have accepted his terms and conditions. I can't help but feel it was a set up to fail on his end. He didn't really want to reconcile, deep down. He wanted to hold onto his perceived hurts and demands. [/QUOTE]
