My father psychopath?

[sigmund]

My parents were divorced when I was two years old, and since then my mother cohabited and then married another person.

 

I called her new husband 'father' and we would live peacefully if not for disruptive actions of my biological father.

 

In a subtle and convoluted and twisted and ugly way he turned me against my stepfather and contributed to the destruction of family.

 

I left my family house, quit the university and emigrated out of the country. My mother divorced some few years ago for the second time.

 

And that would be the background. I think it would be easy to guess what quality of feelings I struggle towards my biological father.

 

His actions are well camouflaged and demand for relatively long descriptions. Such descriptions are not easy to render in speech. Written word is much more conductive.

 

Through his actions he influenced my image in very negative way. His malevolence expressed itself in the following ways: outright lies, insinuations, stocking etc.

 

It is difficult for me to estimate the degree of consciousness and self awareness on his part, while implementing those malign actions. Would it be extremally low:- he could be categorized as a psychopath(for the reason he did not know what he was doing), would it be well pronounced:- he could be called a vulgar vilifier.

 

I will come with the examples next time, since it is being the time I have to go to work.

 

Thanks for reading and sorry for slightly too formal language, but I struggle to be objective in these matters and it is not an easy task, to say.

It takes a licensed clinical psychologist to give a diagnosis (and "psychopath" is actually not a current term - "antisocial/psychopathic type" or "antisocial personality disorder"). As there is a genetic element to this disorder, I hope for your sake that your bio-father is NOT.

 

I hope that you have mended your relationship with your mother. Good luck,

He sounds rather selfish to me. Not sure about the psychopath thing though. I see that sort of grading as being something used in the Criminal Justice System, more than a general familial thing.

 

Dunno, some parents use kids as weapons to hurt the other parent. Deeply horrid stuff..

 

What matters is that you have opportunity to piece things together in adulthood. Seems like you were really used very badly in this. Sorry this happened to you.

 

Take care,
