Unfortunately, we don't have that much control over our kids. You could let him know how you feel and get him a copy of "The Sociopath Next Door" to read. (Read it yourself first.) Beyond that, or hiring a hit man, you're pretty much powerless if he is determined. Sociopaths can be extremely charismatic, and are masters at fooling "some of the people all of the time."
I am in a similar situation with my daughter. The first step is to get your step-son into counseling if possible. There are also a lot of books out there to help you counteract the effects he is having from the sociopath. Your role is key is making sure he not only makes it through the emotional side effects of this but also stoping the cycle. being raised by a sociopath is one of the ways researches believe people become sociopaths themselves. So study as much as you can on minimizing the effects on your step-son. Good luck and I hope this helps.
You don't. Your son needs to live and learn, especially if we're talking about an adult son here. Trying to hover over him all of the time is going to do more harm than good, and you will ultimately make him resentful of you. I'm not saying not to advise him - just be careful not to be too pushy about it.
With a broken heart.......................
Just because she is "female" doesnt mean anything. A sociopath is a sociopath and the only way to "deal" with them is to stay as far away as possible.
There is no effective treatment for sociopaths. If your daughter is truly a sociopath, you need to look out for yourself, since her only interest is herself. Medical science does not yet have an answer for your daughter. Give up and protect yourself.
Get a doctor to come help you and erm......talk.Talk very long.
Dealing with a SociopathWikiAnswers contributors give their opinions:Stay away from them. This is not a joke. You do not "deal" with sociopaths. Get a copy of "The Sociopath Next Door" and read it for some perspective.If possible, it is best to just avoid sociopaths. If you cannot avoid them, be on guard, and if necessary call the police.
next time she flips out, call the cops and tell them that you feel your life is in danger. there really isn't a way to convince them. i am truly sorry that you have a sociopath in your house.
My advice would be to see a therapist. Sounds messed up
If you have anti-social personality disorder the military wipes their hands clean of you and kick you out.
Ask for a transfer away from that person. Or leave the job, which is usually the only way to deal with it. Complaining to superiors about the problem will rarely get you anywhere, because after all, the sociopath has them wrapped around their little finger.
It depends on who you are to deal with it. It may not be yours to deal with at all.
Have positive and caring people around her as much as possible. Show her how humans connect with compassion and caring. Bring as much of this into the home as possible. Get her books to read that teach the difference between right and wrong and healthy feelings and how to deal with the downs of life.
They deal with osmosis by dividing into two daughter nuclei.
The sociopath lacked empathy and manipulated others for personal gain.
