Casey’s parents and her brother are enablers in much the same way families enable an alcoholic. They cover for her, make excuses for her, perjure themselves for her...what else would you call it? They raised her as well. They are a huge part of the mess.

Enabling bad behavior which has a remote chance of being “fixed” by appropriate measures is one thing. Living with and copying with a sociopath is quite another. If you think “normal” disaplinary, or otherwise measures, for a sociopath will accomplish the desired end then you simply do not have an understanding of the delima facing parents who cope with these individuales.
