[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 640837, member: 18366"] What I read about sociopath statistics one out of every 20 people is a sociopath. So look around you and out of 20 that you either know or are related to, one of them is going to be a sociopath. I think true sociopathy can be either DNA or upbringing in extreme cases of abuse/neglect. As far as the drug thing goes I do think some things such as spice, synthetic marijuana and obviously the a harder drugs like meth, crack and heroin do change the brain chemistry to a degree. I hesitate to give my opinion on some of the members difficult children that are in the under 25 group because there is now what they called delayed adolescence and only time will tell if a difficult child will stay a difficult child over a longer period of time. Having said that I still believe as parents of [I]ADULT CHILDREN [/I]we should be protecting ourselves [I]over them.[/I] Also I think we should also plan for our own future financial needs for our own futures before giving money to difficult children no matter the diagnosis. One never knows how long one will live in retirement, what can happen if a family goes from a 1 earner family from a 2 earner ect. In regular life financial experts say "Plan for your own retirement first". So whether you have a sociopath difficult child or some other difficult child problem this new way of thinking still applies. I only mention it because through reading the posts here I see that a lot of people are spending gobs of money trying to help their adult child when that child doesn't seem to be doing anything to help themselves. Something to think about! [/QUOTE]
