I am just so frustrated with my Husband! His son, the Psychopath, has got him convinced that all the new legal trouble is the fault of the staff not helping him understand his issues. I wish I had half that control over people!!!

I was wondering if anyone has had any experiece with a Psychopath getting out of confinement and coming after them? My Psychopath's therapist has insinuated that I should be afraid when he gets out as I could be a target. I am the step mom - my nieces were the victims that caused him to be discovered as a molester, I have a new son by his dad, and I have always said that something was wrong with him and "forced" his dad to put him in treatment. I am so scared that since his dad is fighting to keep him charged as a juvinile which would make him releaseable at 18 - only three years from now. This kid is so scary - he not only tried to rape a staff (but he convinced them that was not his purpose - he just wanted to test the system!?!?) and then he made weapons to make the next attept successful - lukily he got caught before he could use them. I may be over reacting but the complete lack of care for others or what is expected of him scares me. I just got a gun (which my husband is angry about - who do I need to protect myself from?) but I still need to know if I am nuts or parinoid or am I within the relm of possibility? thanks

Hi theboyzmom, what a situation.

It looks like having your husband supporting him could cause some real issues. I would suspect if your husband is trying to push for the change in age regarding punishment that he would probably also let his son come back into the home? What do you think?

A few members have posted about getting their husbands/significant others to finally see the light so I know it can happen. For your own safety, I would listen to the concerns expressed by the therapist. He does sound quite violent, rape is such an act of violence and domination.

Personally, I think if he had his way my husband would have him home in a minute - not because of any evil wish on his part, but because my hubby still thinks that the Psychopath can be fixed. I personally subscribe to the thought that he can not be changed - and if you think I am wrong than let him show me that he is different - not just for a minute or a week but long term. Luckily (?) since my second son was a victim of his molestations, I don;t think the Psychopath will ever come back to our house - but I am prepared to tell my hubby at that time it is me and his new son or the Psychopath. Both in the same house can not happen. I only hope that my hubby is able to see the truth long before that is an issue. My hubby asked me not to go to family therapy this week since "M. needs to hear how much he is loved - not that he is a bad person" I think this says alot about the level of denial my hubby is still in. I wish I could get him to read Dr. Hare's book but I don;t think he is ready for that yet. Ah well, keep me and mine safe and worry about the rest later I guess.

This sounds like a very scary situation. I don't think that sexual predators can ever be allowed back in the home, ever.

I hope your hubby uses the time that the psychopath is locked up to evaluate his own relationship and learn that his son cannot be allowed contact with his new family.
