So SS10 apologized. It seemed like he actually meant it for once. He admitted that he said what he said out of anger, and he felt wrong saying it. I told him we're human, he's allowed to make mistakes, I just didn't appreciate him being two-faced. THe whole "I love you" to my face and something totally different behind my back.

Foolish to think things would be better. SS10 comes back from his 8 week stay with his Mom. He is two-faced , lazy, and self-entitled as usual. Of course he comes back with hugs and "I love you so much. I missed you so much." I roll with it and return the sentiments (even though that's not the way I feel, but I am hopeful). Mother-in-law comes to visit one day after SS10 gets back. Three days into the visit, MIL mentions that SS10 said we are mean to him because we make him eat fruit. Seriously? Whenever he can get anyone alone he plays a whiny victim.

A little history:

I posted a blog yesterday titlted "Sociopath" I disclosed that the real term used these days is "antisocial personality disorder". I also admitted that a diagnosis can't be made until it's pretty much too late to be treated (adulthood). I went on to compare the symptoms with my experiences with my SS10 who I've known for over 5 years. I also went on to describe my concern for my BS3, who is VERY much obsessed with him and influenced by him, and who has also suffered physical abuse at SS10's hand. I posted out of desperation, as many mothers would have in this situation.
