"Antisocial personality disorder is a psychiatric condition characterized by chronic behavior that manipulates, exploits, or violates the rights of others. This behavior is often criminal."
someone who callously divorces people and could care less what effect it has certainly fits the definition. you have your definition backwards by the way, APD is often found in criminals, but not all with APD are criminals.
all i am saying is that i wish there was a way we could get people to just think about what they are doing. this applies as much to marriage as sex, running up huge credit card debt, using drugs, drinking and gambling. i am not saying that any of those things are good or bad, just that people should think more carefully about them before they start down that path.
too often the attitude of young americans can be summarized with "I am going to do what ever I want to. It is my life and my decision and I am not going to listen to anything that anyone else has to say."
unfortunately, some of us are the ones who wind up scraping up the mess of your life on the other side after you hit 35-40. all I am saying is that i think people should put a little more thought into their lives and not just assume that everything will work out later.
and yes, i do have a background in psychology and health care.
