[QUOTE="defiantchild, post: 675304, member: 18543"] Hi InsaneCdn, Difficult Child was diagnosed with- adhd in elementary school. He's always had some difficulty getting along w others. Never wanted to follow rules, ever. Doesn't seem to care too much about how his actions impact others. Has always managed to find friends, but often his friends 'move on' in part because parents of the friends didn't want Difficult Child hanging out with their sons. That's why the friends he has now are mostly kids with drug problems and more like him. My psychiatrist asked me if sociopathy is in either my husband's or my family. I don't know of any. My husband doesn't have any serious mental health issues in his family at all. My sister is 64 yrs old, bi-polar, finally on the right cocktail of medications and is stable emotionally, but does not support herself financially. My parents 100% support her. My oldest brother struggled with drug addiction and alcoholism and tragically died at 36 of a drug overdose. This brother never appeared to have any sociopathic tendencies. He was a caring guy. My other brother has all sorts of anxiety/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and never learned to take care of himself - at 52 years old my parents still support him financially as well. This brother had lots of learning difficulties. Had trouble getting along with others. Was grandiose in a way as well....But all of my relatives who knew my brother and know my son say they are NOTHING alike. They say my brother was a real entitled a-hole as a kid. My son never behaved like that with family. He was always really sweet with the family and close friends of the family. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) which is completely under control with- low does of Prozac. It's changed my life. I work, my husband works, we both have our own businesses and do well. I have another son who is one year older than Difficult Child. He's a good kid. Of course he's not perfect, normal teenage nonsense, but he has lots of friends, he's an athlete, he's ok. He's a freshman in college. [/QUOTE]
