[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 666669, member: 17635"] Hi Jude, Reading along. My son is 34 and his dad and I believe him to be sociopathic and narcissistic. He does not have those diagnoses from a professional....except from his parents. Well, okay, his sister is a psychological examiner who has never tested Difficult Child, but first pointed out the possibilities and she tests hundreds of folks a year. Of course he would not have those diagnoses from a professional because he is very, very careful of what he tells counselors. He is smart(?) in that regard. But, his dad and I have years and years of experience with his excuses and stories and blame games. So, I understand about being careful, but you know, we read and read and when something fits completely, it is easy to latch on to it. We want to understand[B] why[/B] our difficult child acts/reacts like this. And, sometimes, it helps tremendously. I feel for you. Wish husband and I had found this forum ten years ago. My guess is that finding this forum will help you make better decisions than we did then years ago. Stay close to the board. It will be of unbelievable value to you and for your son. SS [/QUOTE]
