[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 578693, member: 6705"] Hi there! Welcome to our little world... Which isn't as little as some would like to believe. A cliche around here that is the absolute truth is - I am glad you found us, though sorry that you had to. You may want to edit your post & remove your son's name. :wink: OK, first thing... Laid back... Doesn't mean gets away with not backing you up. In my husband's case, for years he was an enabler - "laid back". Not so much anymore, but it's a long story why. Your son sounds a lot like my daughter. Manipulative, refuses to tell the counselor what is really going on, shows the world his awesome side and his family gets the garbage. Family is "safe". Mental illness is a slippery critter. Testing per se doesn't always come up with "the answer". There are so many, many possibilities. Did your son encounter any trauma as a child? Lacking empathy is not "fine"... If he truly does not feel how his actions may affect others... Has he ever hurt anyone or anything? [/QUOTE]
