[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 666649, member: 11791"] Hi, Jude... The mental health issue is definitely a major part of this. Not that all people with that diagnosis end up in trouble with the law, but a fairly high proportion of people in trouble with the law do have a mental health issue. As for the "narcissistic" and "pathological" lying pieces... these obviously haven't been diagnosed, and I'd be careful throwing labels around. The background that creates someone who is narcissistic would reflect on your home... and if you have three other sons without the problem, then why this one? unless this one is biologically different from the rest? (adopted or different bio-dad). My son frequently gets called on the mat for his "lying". Except... often, it is not. He has multiple challenges, and it makes it difficult for him to get the original statement/request straight, so he responds anyway, and then gets called for lying... when it's really a mis-understanding. At 23... there isn't much YOU can do about any missing diagnoses. Unfortunately. But there may be multiple additional complicating factors. Until your son recognizes this and seeks help, there isn't much you can do. Please do look after yourself. We need to have ourselves around for a while yet... :D [/QUOTE]
