Are all child abusers psychopaths?
I'm trying to figure out if my dad is one.

@TheFlowerThatBloomsInAdversity: Good point

not necessarily - i am still not sure if i could term anyone a psychopath because most generally aren't..
the thing about child abusers is that most of them have been abused or experienced something traumatic or life changing in their childhood as well - you'd find that most of the abusers have had a history of their own

Good question. I have often wondered myself what differentiates just an abuser from a full-blown psychopath. Not that there's any "just" here, but psychopaths are the worst of the worst and having one for a parent shouldn't even be a thing.😁

More likely sociopaths. Psychopathy is more what you see in serial killers, people like Charles Manson.

Yeah I guess. My dad exhibits the signs of both of those combined

Does he not have empathy?

@Jackaloftheazuresand: My dad got "diagnosed" with aspergers when he was younger and his family has a lot of aspergers in it for some reason but his dad was also considered a psychopath& animal/child/wife abuser and he also abused my dad so that definitely played into my dad's issues
By aspergers I mean he does not appear to have emotions and he doesn't understand other people and why they have whatever emotion they're having

Unless he is behaving awkwardly I wouldn't use aspergers as the term, try apathetic.

No, not all "x" are psychopaths. Some folks can be taught to be psychopaths.

I think psychopathy is a mental predisposition though.. I think they're born that way and it's incurable

maybe you should ask a school counsellor

Nah I don't live with him anymore it's fine. He hasn't abused me since I was 15 1/2
