Re: Could Some Forms Of Punitive Parenting Lead To Creating A Sociopath?
Come to think of it, I have 3 sisters. The third, four years older than I was diagnosed with a borderline personality disorder, not quite the same as a sociopath, I know. She was beaten on a regular basis however, which I think led to her developing this type of disorder. :/ Fortunately, I was never beaten with a belt, but I witnessed the abuse in our home (which we all know is damaging in its own way). So, while over all, I don't feel abuse makes a person who they are, it may start the ball rolling in that direction, if the person may already be predisposed to developing a mental illness.
