Yep. I grew up in a crazy family. I was going through it a week ago or so and it suddenly clicked in my head that on my mom's side of the family all of the women in the family are sociopaths.
There's some weird quirk about their genetics or upbringing that prevents them from being able to care about or empathize with the emotions of other people.
Just for a run-down, if you had ever met my grandmother she would have gleefully told you the hilarious story about how when she was 5 years old she attempted to kill her dad for not taking her into town and buying her ice cream. And I'm not saying like you know poison or something like she picked up a rifle and fired it at his head and only missed because her body was too small to control the recoil.
When he ran up and grabbed her and shook her and said do you know what they would have done to you if you would have killed me, she said "yes, they would have taken me into town and bought me ice cream because my dad had just died".
What the fuck.
