[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 760830, member: 18958"] In the USA the diagnosis of ASPD is not given until maturity. Instead, there is the diagnosis of CD or Conduct Disorder before the criteria of ASPD can be met. The idea behind this distinction is complex. But basically, there is the recognition that disordered conduct can be correlated with immaturity and that upon maturity there can be behavioral change, and the individual would no longer fit the diagnosis. Almost all of us here, regardless of diagnoses, are dealing with a loved one The key to our survival is internal boundaries. By that, I mean acceptance of what is, and working through guilt, fear, personal disappointments, anger, and the ways we are triggered based upon our own past experience. If we have good internal boundaries, we don't "get sucked in," don't take the manipulations and disappointments personally, and have the clarity, strength, and distance to make adequate external boundaries. In my own experience, this is very hard to do. I myself have been a very slow learner. [/QUOTE]
