[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 296404, member: 1550"] You ought to pick up the book "Without Conscience" by Robert Hare. I've read it after we had that experience with our glib, charming little foster child who molested our two other children and killed our dogs. He too had such a winning way about his persona that adults loved him. He fooled even child psychiatrists. Adults thought he was the nicest kid on earth. in my opinion only, your stepson is a lot like him, although he hasn't gotten into the violent stuff yet and is surface nice to your animal (so was our child. He acted as if he LOVED our dogs, then pretended someone else killed them, although he "found" both). I think you'd probably agree that the nightmare you are living is the type of gaslighting existence you live with a budding psychopath (stepson). As adults, these people lie for a living and fool very intelligent people. They have excuses for everything, even when they are caught red-handed--there are many examples. They make you doubt yourself and sometimes your own sanity. They lack emotions, therefore rarely act out unless it is to their benefit, and then, when they act out, it is not from the gut. They just copy others emotions because they don't really feel emotions. Your description of this child is chilling and could fit the bill. But if so he will fool many people on his path. Be careful. He is trying to get his father to blame YOU for HIS misdeed. And he's probably very convincing. Plus he has a willing enabler. PLEASE be careful. It wouldn't shock me if he set YOU up and then said, "See? It was her all the time!" [/QUOTE]
