Parents for the child are like walls that protect from any dangers and problems. But the opposite happens. What if the closest person turns out to be psychologically unwell? This is one of the reasons for the instability in the family, which can lead to the destruction of close relationships.
Let's dwell on the fact: a parent is a psychopath. What to do? Should the child limit communication with him? And how to behave if the baby cannot be protected from mom or dad?
The first step is to consult a doctor. It so happened that the very word "psychopath" is perceived as something unbalanced, insane. There are actually several types of this mental illness: psychological imbalance, antisocial personality disorder, and narcissistic disorder.
The main signs to identify a "psychopath":
- constant lie
- tendency to break rules and the law
- skillful manipulator
- will do anything to achieve the goal.
There is a gender characteristic in the behavior of a psychopath. For example, to achieve a certain result, a man is more likely to use physical force, and a woman will use attractiveness, sexuality. The psychopath will do this because the moral basis is not important to him, he does not think about whether he is doing good or bad. Aggressiveness and impulsivity are the main motivators of his activities. Such a person constantly finds enemies, since it is easier for him to create a conflict than for a mentally healthy person.
It is dangerous for a child to live with such a person. Remembering that children cannot somehow evaluate the actions of their parents, they take such behavior for granted. There are several dangers for a baby:
- Mom's or Dad's behavior is a kind of game that teaches antisocial behavior.
- Psychological abuse.
- Physical injury.
The family situation can only be changed with the help of a psychotherapist. Sessions with the doctor will help set up the relationship, and the child will understand which behavior is correct. It is not necessary to protect the baby from the parent, it is enough to undergo treatment on time and take the necessary medications.
