[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 714453, member: 1550"] If he has a personality disorder it will be years of intensive therapy before he will change I am talking about maybe inheriting his personality (not a personality disorderer) from a relative, however distant. And you cant test for a disposition that is not pleasing. You are talking about genetic disorders like Downs Syndrome...those you can test for. There is no test for "not nice." I doubt his thyroid is causing this. Thyroid problems are common...I have hypothyroid. Your sons behavior is extreme. It is likely just who he is right now. All of us are here because of problem adult children. Most take drugs, which doesnt help. In general, they tend not to change until they have to. Some never change no matter what But we can change our approach. We dont have to let them drag us down with them. Many of us learned how to do this, especially in therapy or Al Anon. I suggest reading Cidependent No More by Melody Beattie. Great book. So helpful. I wish you lots and lots of luck! [/QUOTE]
