Answer:

"then do not be swayed by guilt as they manipulate you to get their own way and control you. think of a 2 year old screaming for their own way .........would you give in?"

Answer:

I would think that a psychopath is more persuasive than a "2 year old screaming for their own way". Although they cannot feel emotions such as empathy and true love, they CAN realize that these emotions exist in "normal" people, and use this for their personal gain. Their lack of conscience allows them to commit the most henious acts without guilt, so why wouldn't it allow a psychopath to shamelessly manipulate those closest to them? And isn't one of the basic instincts of the parent, expecially the female mother, to shelter and protect their child no matter what? I believe that psychopathic children, in a loving family, generally behave nicely and helpfully towards the parents, and towards everybody while in their parents eyesight, and does all he or she can to prevent his or her crimes from ever reaching their parents ears. One of the traits of a psychopath is that he or she is usually unusally smart, perhaps due to the fact that the brain does not dedicate any energy whatsover to creating a conscience. This would also help him manipulate his family and friends. With this being the case, I believe that it is very possible that a family might house a pyschopathic child without realizing it, and therefore, would be very shocked and surprised and angry, if police came to her door and accused her little 9-year-old girl of being a serial killer. 9 year-old serial killers do exist; In Britain, a 10-year-old girl brutally murdered at least two 10-year-old boys, mutilating their bodies after she killed them. A parent, hearing that about her darling child, would be inclinde, I propose, to react hostilly to the news, believe wholeheartedly that the police made a mistake, and her child is innocent, and if the prosecution continues, then they would probably believe that the police themselves have a personal grudge against their child or their family, and were using the sad death of the victim to attempt to further their own ends. All of this is easier to believe than your sweet, darling, Jessica committing serial murders. Although this example is extreme, the point still holds, Would you even realize if your child was a psychopath without psychologicial aid in the form of a psychologist to make the diagnosis?

I asm just speculating, as I have all my answers, but I do believe it is hereditary, and college psychology books have noted that there is a 50 - 50 chance, if one parent is antisocial/sociopathic. I do believe that it is a chemical imbalance, and that the imbalance starts to manifest, or get worse, during adolescence or puberty.

Is a sociopathic personalty inherited?

It can be. For example; if a child is raised by a sociopath, the sociopath raising them might be cold and distant(because they could have trouble making an attachment with the child.) The sociopath raising them can also be highly abusive. As a result, the child could grow up to have a sociopathic personality, because thats all they know.

How do you protect the innocent spouse and the innocent child from a sociopath mother?

Is the sociopath mother on medicine to control her behavior? If not and the sociopath is a danger, then the innocent spouse needs to take legal action to protect himself and the child immediately (contact a lawyer, the county should have some programs to help those who cannot afford one). If the sociopath mother is on medicine, going to counseling and is compliant with her doctor there is not a whole lot you can do. The father will have a better chance in court to get full physical and legal custody.
