[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 456756"] She sounds like a textbook sociopath, frankly. I marvel (appreciatively and admiringly) at your detachment, as so many parents of sociopaths (like my sister) simply can't/won't accept it and just keep trying and trying and trying even after it's clear that they're getting nowhere. Her story is eerily similar to my difficult child nephew's, right down to small details. I think the only thing that you can do is to continue full detachment and get on with your life. Letting her back into your life will simply invite her mayhem and disorder and chaos into your life. I know it's tough, but I see what ongoing denial and refusal to detach has done to my sister's life, and indirectly my other nephew's life: ongoing, never-ending financial parasitism and chaos and problems. I can't see how it will ever end--best to detach and get on with your life. [/QUOTE]
