[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 88915, member: 1514"] Janet... You know I have had to come to terms with that Personality disorder criteria before. I read it, I studied it, and the more I thought about it the more it really freed me. None of my kids problems are because of me...its all on him and his decisions. Only he can make the choices to change his life. Its not like I can find the magic pill to fix his personality. With bipolar or any other chemical imbalance I was always searching for the right pill to make his brain chemicals work right...but with this...naw...its on him to work hard on WANTING to live right. He (or anyone with a personality disorder) has to make the conscious decision to want to change their life before they can get help...and that isnt going to happen unless they believe they are having a problem and most ASPD folks thing the rest of us have the problems. It freed me to detach enough from his choices to know I couldnt do anymore. It wasnt my fault. It isnt your fault. ASPD is the toughest PD to have. There are a few of us on here who have these kids. Being their parents is heartbreaking. [/QUOTE]
