[QUOTE="buddy, post: 479363, member: 12886"] I dont know anything about antisocial personalities, but I would say that if you say she uses things to her advantage at all times, it doesn't add up that she is antisocial if she never lied about this. She wouldn't care one bit about you (I would think) and would be happy to see you in trouble if she was truly a sociopath. I am also not invloved in chemical dependency in my home, I certainly have had it close to my life though, and it changes the people I know so much that they do look like they really dont care. When being with family who are in recovery, it is like they are different people. I really feel terrible for you. I know what it is like to constantly be looking for answers. And to worry about the future for your child (very different circumstances, same mommy heart). I think, given you truly have no control at this point, it is wise to work really hard on learning to love her but to go on with your life, as much as this is really possible for a mother to do, in a way that stops your search for answers and allows you to cope with what you can't control in any way at this point. I wish that was different, and I truly cant imagine how, but I do know there are people here who DO have this experience, and who will be along (it was the weekend so hang in there) to help you. Sometimes the advice can be hard to hear, but I have been here a couple of months and truly appreciate the sincerity and non judgemental kindness that people here offer. I am so glad you found us and hope you check in frequently to let us know how you are, to vent, to laugh, and to know that you are not alone. [/QUOTE]
