It’s not unusual to see an enabler in the family of a young sociopath, an enabler who makes a excuses for their off spring and thus facilitates the anti-social behavior.
This whole family is so dysfunctional that it would be amazing if they didn’t raise a sociopath. I was just reading yesterday, about the relationship (or lack of it) between the parents and how Cindy is the sole supporter of her husband, his gambling problem and threats to take half the house to pay his gambling debts.
Of course, there is no real way to know if this is even all true, but it fits.
The parents were in denial about Casey’s pregnancy at 7 months. Incredible.
