[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 739014, member: 17720"] Great name change, Snowy! I'm glad she is out of your house and that you stood so firmly against being sucked into the maelstrom. I agree with ksm, but either way I'm glad she is not pregnant. It doesn't sound like either of them are ready to parent a child. I'm so sorry about the loss of your neighbor's son. What a tragedy. I think therapy is a very good idea because you and hubby have been through so much. But PLEASE do "let go" of any sense of failure. This is not on you or your husband. I am not judging your daughter a sociopath, but have you read "The Sociopath Next Door" by Martha Stout? It discusses the root causes of poorly developed empathy. Studies involving MRI imaging of the brain point to differences in the structure of the brain, rather than environment or upbringing, as being common to those who lack empathy. They process emotions and lend attention to stimuli differently than most of us because they are "hard-wired" differently. It might be worth a read. [/QUOTE]
