zoey I grew up with some crazy relatives. Forget about getting an 'I'm sorry' from them after they scared the bejesus out of the household and had everyone hiding in the crawl spaces of the house (because of screamed threats of killing the Germans). I came to believe that in the grip of insanity neither of these three relatives thought they were wrong, what they did was wrong or did they feel any remorse.
I relate to that Cuckoohead. I had an untreated paranoid schizophrenic Mom (refused treatment, dad afraid to commit her) who was unable to take responsibility for her actions. Her doctor always told me: "You can not expect the irresponsible to accept responsibility because they simply are not capable".
That was in the 50's and 60's when this "sort of thing" was very hush-hush. She didn't kill me, but I got outta the house at age 18.
