This reminds me of something. Someone I knew growing up is a lot like the one you described and he is an alcoholic and battles substance abuse problems also. It begs the question...maybe people who are that mean feel horrible guilt and use substances to take the edge off the guilt.
They are really messed up inside and they know it and can't deal with themselves.
yes, I see your point, too. I had heard stories of him running over kittens with his lawn mower, what kind of monster is that? He was very nice-looking, had a nice home, siblings, he had it all, but was evil , sick,venom throughout. Why be so horrible, so hateful? I just don't get it, with society sometimes..no sir, I just don't get people...............
When I read this, I think of Bipolar Disorder. I've read a lot about childhood-onset BP, which people are only beginning to understand. I bet there are people here with BP, but it's different in kids, and back in those days, it wouldn't have been recognized. It'll make a person become like that, but in most cases it can be controlled with medication. He didn't have that, so he "self-medicated." Maybe some people like that truly are bad eggs, but I think in most cases it's a brain disorder, and the person needs the brain chemistry straightened out before they can be available for any other kind of therapy. This particular story is sad all the way around. Childhood-onset bipolar disorder research is a good cause to support.
