apology accepted, though I realized you were confused because you thought I was talking to you and once you realized your error capitulated. See you
have an intact conscience which when you compare your values (held within your conscience) against your actions (ass chewing for me) you observed a
discrepancy and immediately felt ashamed and afraid.
A APD does have a conscience, as all men and women do, they just continue to choose to a) never compare their actions against their morals, or b)
rationalize and justify how their behavior complies with their morals.
The treatment for an APD is not medication,, it is Reality Therapy. When you sit on the burner, (figurative) you of your own free will sit on the
blisters.
An APD sits on the burner often and then manipulate someone else to sit on the blisters for them. Hence they never have to experience the pain.
See people pay lip service to advice and counsel, but they obey pain.
The therapy of Reality is that when a APD sits on the burners of life you manipulate them back so they themselves sit on the pain.
What this causes in a counseling relationship, marriage, friendship is that the APD will terminate the relationship and not associate with you
again.
Children need help forming their conscience, which is predominately a parent job.
I have always been a proponent of applying the board of education to the seat of higher learning with children. It is not politically correct now
days, but it is called an ass whipping, not abuse, just putting some figurative blisters on their little butt for sitting on a burner that they have
been told to not do.
