[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 589896, member: 13542"] Very good list MWM, you've really got it down! Off the top of my head......... 1. a different perspective on their personal freedom; in some cases would rather live on the streets then deal with what they consider severe limits. 2. can be extremely manipulative, clever, cagey and secretive. 3. can be very bright however use their intelligence to do battle rather then apply it to something which will benefit them 4. sexual promiscuity, acting out sexually. 5. tendency towards mood altering experiences, drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, etc. 6. very resourceful when left to their own devices 7. severe reactions to any kind of authority (see #1) 8. excel at finding other difficult child's to hang out with 9. often depression, ADHD, ODD, mood disorders, PTSD, learning difficulties, brain damage, mental illness and more are involved 10. Strong resistance/reluctance to get help, take medications, admit to their issues [/QUOTE]
