Anyone know anything about it? It is not a recognized disorder, at least as far as the dsm-4 or revised 5 is concerned, however this is the new term the psychiatrist is throwing around. Though I don't doubt it exists for some, I think it doesn't really fit pampered, spoiled sd13. Just doesnt gel.

Apparently, according to this psychiatrist, this why she does every mean thing to me, and it's ok!! He mommy was never emotionally there for her, therefore she lashes out at the female figures in her life. I still call bullshit, I'm the only female figure getting lashed out at. She worships her mom, of course, and her moms mom, who is a slutty at fly. Dh's mom is sd13s BFF, so no problem there. It's just me that she leaves bloody underwear bombs for and tells she wants to stab in the eye with a fork at the dinner table. The psychiatrist at the mental hospital, I think, called it closest, says she was a sociopath, but wouldn't diagnose her because of her age, I had a talk with sd a few weeks ago after she completely lost her shit when she was to,d she couldn't spend the night with a friend. I picked her because dh was so furious, the conversation went on for her to say she has never been truly sorry for making someone feel bad by the things she has said or done (I was trying to get her to apologize to dh when we got home and she didn't see why, this is only a week after she ht dh).

I believe I said it on another post-sometimes it just no longer matters WHY these kids leave bloody underwear bombs or threaten to stick forks in our eyes-it just matters that it is unacceptable. I wish everyone would stop trying to anaylze everyone else and just deal with the behaviors at hand. You like to leave underwear bombs for sm? Fine, you might find it on your pillow. Or your dinner plate. Or dh may find it in his lunchbox. You want to stab a fork in my eye? Well, I wont go there-but personally idgaf WHY someone would want to stab a fork in my eye, but rather that they just want to do it.
