DCB Has Serious Issues :/

[Solandia]

I can't really blame the mom for sticking her head in the sand about it, I mean really, who wants to be blamed for creating a sociopath? Because many, MANY people truly believe that kids cannot be born sociopathic...that no one is born evil...that these abominations are created by a lack of love, affection, some event or trigger in their life....

Therefore, it must the parent's fault. If the mom knows this little guy is in a loving home, has had a normal babyhood & childhood, then it stands to reason (by the above philosophy) that he cannot be a sociopath-in-training.

***this is not MY opinion, just saying I have gotten into arguments with friends/schoolmates on this subject more than once***

There is a book, The Sociopath Next Door, very enlightening and an easy read.

If mom continues to deny the problem and reward ,"the poor boy" she's going to end up losing her daughter to another "accident" or to foster care. You did the only thing you could do.I pray your state has a good system in place to deal with this.Stay strong.

Did OP get the little sister back or did the family leave all together?

She was here all week and DCB started counseling today. I even called and checked with his school to confirm. DCM and I had a loooong talk and I showed her some info on the signs of a sociopathic child and she agreed that he has several of the signs. Then I told her about my own brother and we cried and hugged.

She is handling it better than I thought and I'm so glad I still have dcg, she is a doll. And I'm glad I can support dcm and dcb (at a safe distance).

She hasn't asked yet if he can return but I expect she will eventually, she loves my dc and has said so numerous times. I'm not sure how I feel. He would have to be in counseling a loooong time before I would let him here again, I think.
