[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 287379, member: 1550"] Well, I lived with a psychopath so this kid scares me but so does the husband. I can see where this kid got some serious mental health issues. The husband not validating the only clearheaded person in the house---WSM!!! WSM, I also hope you leave this sick situation. It won't improve and it's not the same as a man who won't see that his son has Aspergers or ADHD. This kid isn't showing "spacey" or "quirky" behavior. This boy is showing psychopathic behavior. Perhaps many people in husband's family show this behavior so he is used to it. I have no idea. But in my opinion this is way beyond being in denial. It does seem delusional to me...and dangerous. It's one thing to deny ADHD and another to deny psychopathic behavior that endangers everyone near him, including his own daughter (who he doesn't seem to care about). I wish you the strength to move on. The man is gaslighting you, trying to make you think everyone thinks YOUR thinking is "crazy", not his. And, sadly, if you live long enough in this sort of situation, you do tend to start to question if it's you, not them. Nobody is setting up difficult child. He is guilty as charged of everything and learning that he can do anything he wants and husband will believe he didn't do it, or at least fool himself into thinking he didn't do it. My advice is still to get out. You can't fix this sad situation. [/QUOTE]
