I don't necessarily have a qualm with the idea of him having one. However, I think it's a total crap-shoot to try and pinpoint anything mentally about this guy because we don't know anything mentally about this guy. Like I said in another post, you could open the DSM to a random page, point to a condition, and you could shoehorn it into this situation because we know so little. Divining a psychological condition from a few media sources with a lot of contradictory information isn't something I find to be likely.
Now, if we were looking at a bunch of sworn statements from people that knew him well, and had his internet posts, and had a pretty solid understanding of how this guy acted that wasn't likely influenced by media or people protecting him, or people trying to get their 15 minutes of fame... I think there would be some pretty valuable discussion there with regards to his mental state. At this point, I personally feel that there are just far too many holes to make any sort of real assessment. :moo:
And it is fascinating to me we have so much
we have a genetic predisposition
we have children that are actually having to fend for themselves on a daily basis
we have family system big lies
we have him having to be a parent when he was a child
we have a very lost person during the times when most are finding there way
he was lost
we have addiction -- addiction is so colored by old visions of what is --
there all the same food alcohol RX sex order its all the same
only way anxiety and stress can be relieved is by doing it
his childhood was powerless
no control over anything makes alot of sense that for the rest of his life he would not be powerless again
money is power
no way to get his needs met as a child mom was worried about bread
he learned the only way to get his needs met was to manipulate lie decieve
that is how he learned the game
of course he is not gonna forge meaningful relationships-- from the onset who is supposed to be reliable -- the momma animal that is how one learns the world can be safe place
from a big person that lets you know that
For the rest of his life - if true- he stayed in parent mode with the brother == that is what he learned he had to do
imo there is much about the other two
resentment == he was a child and placed in a place that developmentally he was not designed to deal with == parent as a kid
it was his job
he did it the best that he could I think that is why money became so meaningful to him
he could not protect his younger siblings from all that was going on but he tried the best he could
he got gratefulness from Eric --for whatever went on with the other two ( I have notions!) in adulthood he did not feel he got his dues for what he did back then
he was forced into the parent role as a child moo
that is heavy stuff for what is in reality a kid
they all learned lying and deception -- there mother lied to them for decades about thier father
that is betrayal
messes with trust issues
a lot of this is not just guesses -- look at the family system
for all of us that is the beginning
just fact how could it be different
ducks learn to imprint same thing
we ARE animals after all
how do we learn the world from the big people around us when we are little people
just like puppies - fascinating we all think our babies are kissing us
actually it is the first (survival) thing they learn to survive - sucking on the nipple -- brings much satisfaction
our babies are loving us it is however far more instinct stuff
without it they all would have died
think about it
hold on
I am feeling a love attack coming on for my lady love bug !!
just some ramblings !!
