I have always known there was something very different about my daughter now 24. Nothing like her brother at all (different fathers but raised by the same sole mum). Diagnosed with ADD at age 10, runaway at 15, drugs, criminal associates and pregnant at 23. Denied me access to my grandson when he was 3 months old because I made an official child at risk notification to the authorities. I wasn't believed (she is very charming and charismatic) and 9 months later my grandson was brutally beaten and hospitalised suffering hypothermia and severe neglect. The authorities believe me now! The good news is that he is now safe and well but in my search for answers I found that my daughter fit every single "characteristic" listed for antisocial personality disorder. She has never been formally diagnosed (hates counsellors and psychiatrists). Her biological father has been in gaol since she was a baby and I believe he is definately a psychopath. The 9 months I was denied access to my grandson was very painful for me, I worried about him all the time and felt such a deep feeling of loss. The time apart from my daughter however was a breath of fresh air, no stress, lies, manipulation etc. I don't hate her but I don't want her to be part of my life ever again. I finally have peace and a loving relationship with my grandson. Any feedback or suggestions would be grately received.

Thanks Cookie2. She's never been able to maintain friendships/relationships/jobs etc and just moves onto the next gullible group when her true colours rapidly show themselves. I've been told that her world is quickly falling apart following the loss of her son. A professional has suggested I offer her some support despite the fact that she hates me with a vengeance because she feels I am responsible for her baby being taken from her. One part of me is scared that she may harm herself (she's done this in the past when seeking attention) given the enormity of her loss but the other part fears she is still manipulating and will bring turmoil and pain back into my life again. Sh's made it clear "I will pay!"

Hi chalmej,
none of us are experts and therefore cannot diagnose. I am thinking though, you might want to check into the psychopath relatives forum here as I think you will find added support from folks who've gone through similar.

sorry for what you have gone through, but welcome.

I'm sorry to hear about the struggles with your daughter .... but you are more than welcome here. Do as much reading as you can about P's and N's, and possibly get some guidance from a professional about how (or how not) to deal with her. And ... by all means ... take care of yourself.
