Can a psychopath be a good father?

Question

will he make my life h**l for the rest of his days after the divorce?

Answer 1

why dont you ask him?

Answer 2

Yes, actually, they can. They tend to lack empathy, warmth etc, but this does not necessarily mean they will be a bad father. They are not all criminals or all violent. It would depend on the severity and type of his psychopathic tendancies - if he actually has any.

As for what *your* father will be like after the divorce... well, what's he like now? Very probably - much the same. Maybe a bit more upset and stressed from time to time. May also try harder. You know him and how he acts. You know best.

Answer 3

not for the rest of your days, only until you get him away from you.  And he can be a good father in small doses, especially under certain safe situations.  That's his limit.  So that should be yours.  And even psycho's grow old and get tired of fighting everything in life.  I think eventually they turn on themselves and go downhill pretty quickly.

Answer 5

The psychopath is defined by a continual seeking of psychological gratification in criminal, sexual, or aggressive impulses and the inability to learn from past mistakes. Using Freudian terminology, the psychopathic personality occurs when the ego(reality principle) can't mediate between the id(pleasure principle) and the super-ego(moral principle), thus allowing the id to run off the pleasure principle, and the super-ego has no control over the actions of the ego. In other words, individuals with this disorder gain satisfaction through their antisocial behavior as well as lack a conscience.

Time will tell whether or not he will become a good father, however, understanding whether he "really" is a psychopath is important.
