[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 566019, member: 1550"] I thought he acted like he was bonded to us...at least a little. He was always independent, wanting to do things for himself, but he was capable of it...very bright...much brighter than other kids with no special learning or physical needs. So he could act on his independence (lack of attachment?) without needing us for much. Right before he met K. he seemed to be trying very hard to attach and hug and be affectionate. He was bright enough to have read up on attachment disorder and be very aware of it. Once he met K. it all went down the tubes though. In the end, this is a person who is basically an empty shell. My daughter, who knew him best, called him "the robot" long before he dumped her and said he doesn't have normal emotions. I didn't see it, but he didn't let me see it. I see it now. Inside, he is very cold. The warmer side of him was an act, the colder side of him is who he is. He has EXTREMELY black and white thinking with no room for anything in between. Frnakly, I didn't see the true him until he was an adult. He knows he has some problems and has gone for counseling, but will only go to "christian" counselors. If anything that has made him more rigid and cold. [/QUOTE]
