[QUOTE="witzend, post: 446276, member: 99"] LMS, I hope that he will too. The thing is, I don't think he wants to get "better" because then he would have to admit there is something not perfect about him and as unhappy as he is he just [I]can't[/I] admit any imperfection in himself. Even when he knows it's wrong he feels the virtue of his own being justifies his behavior. He terrifies me. And so long as someone keeps feeding him and giving him a warm place to sleep he will continue to feel that. Honestly, his apparent lack of empathy and belief in his own perfection leave me wondering how safe anyone in the world would be if people [I]stopped[/I] feeding him and giving him a place to sleep. I assume he will just take what he wants, and [I]what[/I] will he want? And what will he do to get it? I had the worst nightmare about him last night. You know how nightmares jump around from time and place and don't make sense. It ended with husband and I in a parking garage that seemed to be a police station or something and M was a small child and he had been murdered and torn to bits by a teacher, and I was awoken by my wailing in the dream because a teacher had done this to him. Now, mind you, we saw Harry Potter last night so that may have played into the theme, but my god these things never leave you as a parent, regardless of how far away from them you are. [/QUOTE]
