[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 642379, member: 17461"] So, though I have stayed altogether away from reading psychiatric diagnosis kinds of things, I took this book: [U]Dangerous Personalities[/U] (Joe Navarro) out from the library and read it after Witz and Nomad's responses. It was the strangest thing. I was not looking for it. There it was. Written by a former FBI profiler...he says there are people who are wired differently and that for him, the question is not how they got that way or whether they can change, but how to recognize and protect ourselves from them. He writes about case histories. He addresses what it is to parent these kinds of people. He addresses what it is to be raised by one. And I just don't know what to think. It must be true, then...and I must be at a place where I can hear that harsh true thing and believe it. I remember the sense of betrayal I felt when difficult child daughter was beaten. That was a big part of that whole loss of faith thing I went through. I just could not get over that what he said and how he behaved and what he promised and his assurances meant...nothing at all. Not even to his own child. husband told me, but I didn't believe him. But this author addressed parenting or having been parented by someone like that, too. Spooky. Cedar [/QUOTE]
