[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 633493, member: 1550"] My post is still there. Just scroll up. Some APDs mellow out when they are older, but they don't develop empathy. They just learn not to get into legal trouble, but you still can't trust them. They really are resistant to getting help because they are not unhappy with themselves. Everyone else is unhappy with them...lol. They don't feel empathy for others. When they cry it is for themselves. They are always somebody you have to keep your eye on and not trust, very sadly. Do you have other children? A spouse? Because sometimes these trouble adult kids suck all the air out of our world and we end up neglecting other loved ones who can love us back, including ourselves. That isn't fair to us or others who care about us. Most of us on this site are in various stages of learning how to detach from the drama our adult children bring on themselves. Sounds like you are already on the right track. One thing great about us is, we ARE a support system and we are available and on call 24/7, even on Christmas so if a crisis comes up you can always post and likely somebody will be around shortly after. I have a son with antisocial traits. However, he is not antisocial all the way and does have a job, a house, and has never been in jail. I think he is sneaky about breaking the law and I'm not sure he still is. It has been hard raising him from Day One. He is my only biological child and our family is full of personality disorders. The adopted adult children I still have (minus the one we had to toss out) are much better adjusted than bio. son. And much nicer. I see my father in my son and my father is a classic Narcissist. It is scary how much they are alike. [/QUOTE]
