Hi Marco, welcome to NeuroTalk. I'm sorry you have to be here, though.

I notice that you have chronic pain. Here's a link to that forum: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=10

Here is a link to the Children's Health forum too... maybe some of the parents in there can give you some advice. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9

I hate to say this, but your daughter sounds like my oldest son, Chris. He, too, showed no sympathy towards others, was very demanding, and highly intelligent (to the point he looked down upon others). He received a full presidential scholarship to San Francisco State.

I did my best for many years to help him, took him to many dr.s too, but none of it seemed to help much. I think he mainly learned how to hide it from people. He's borderline sociopathic. It scares me, especially now that he lives far away and I am not around to try and help him maintain control.

So you have my prayers and my hugs Having a psychologically damaged child is heartbreaking. But quit with the guilt!! If she does have some sort of sociopathy, she was born that way. Her brain is wired differently, that has been proven. All we can do is be there for them, love them (even though it's hard at times), help them through the rough times, and be hard on them when they need that, too.

Wow. I have never told anyone here at NT about Chris. This will come as a big shock to them. But I felt I had to come forward, because if this is what is going on with your daughter, it's vital that you find out right away.

I thank you so much I assumed that my kid is bipolar you guys that reply thank you for the information .
Again I will be always checkinj and posting for help so long Marco

Hi Scarlata and welcome to NeuroTalk. I'm sorry for all that you are going through.

I see you've been given some very good links. You may want to go to the homepage of NeuroTalk and browse through the forums. There is a Bipolar, ADD and all kinds of information. Here is a link to all of the forums. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/index.php

You're really between a rock and a hard place! Doesn't her university have student health care? It should be a part of her fees for college. Of course, getting her to go there is a different story. Insurance is so expensive. Please keep us updated.

Hi, Marco, welcome to NeuroTalk.

I don't envy your situation, it sounds difficult and I'm sorry for that. Take a look around, post wherever you'd like, and do let us know if we can assist you with anything.

It's good to meet you. I'm really sorry to hear that you are going through the double problem of being disabled yourself and having a daughter with possible medical problems. I can only imagine how demanding that must be. I hope and pray that your obvious love for your daughter will get through to her, and that she'll repay it with love and respect of her own. Good luck to you and your daughter, and God bless you both...
