(I didn’t realize that the return button was going to send and I didn’t see an edit)...so beyond that, I have also realized that I have been the scapegoat for over 50 years with my family as well. This includes my children, because the family has always spoken negatively about me to them. So I am sitting back, and waiting to see who the next scapegoat is going to be. Not as a revenge, but, because I’ve tried to talk to them about what I have learned and didn’t want them to get caught up in it any further. When the time comes, I will still be there for them. That will never change. But all in all, the main thing why I even got on here to write anything, is because my oldest daughter has reactive attachment disorder which seems pretty similar with their behavior and the disconnect, unless it revolves around her. She is in her 30s now, but a radio podcast, focus on the family, was talking about it probably about 15 years ago and with the list of symptoms/challenges, it was like we finally had a true reason outside of ADD and ODD. Do you think that there is a tie between reactive attachment disorder and a narcissistic psychopath or sociopaths?
I want to thank you both for everything that you have done. I was looking up more information on being an empath last year when I was going through the situation I was going through a mess and I left an abusive relationship and came across narcissist social path on YouTube that was following the empath links. That’s when I realize what was happening. I didn’t have medical insurance, nothing at the time, and it really helped me push through. Hence now a year later I am back in the state, we’re still working on things and he has turned around quite a bit. The compassion and some empathy has returned. I’m not sure if it’s because he realized, like some people do in relationships, what he was missing once I left or if it’s because he’s getting older and coming up with health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and other things. With that being said, it could still be all about him, thinking of himself, possibly being afraid of being alone and nobody out here (family)that will help him like his mom did to help his dad. His dad lost his legs to diabetes and I think he’s really scared and he sounds truly humbled since I’ve been back the last few months. These situations always remind me of “ Diary of a Mad Black Woman “ He was a jerk, he found out who truly loved him, and she made the decision to go on with her life knowing that she could rest doing what she had to do for her own self. It would have been a whole different story otherwise.
