Is my little brother a psychopath?

My little brother (15) has not made a general family life possible for years. Because of his misconduct, my father is always in a bad mood and he then transmits this bad mood into the house and also very strongly on a mother. It is an absolute rarity (maybe 3 times a year) that in one day there are no loud arguments between my brother and other family members in our house. I don't mean the little differences now. I now mean that he starts screaming (making monkey noises) or pretends that he was beaten and then lies down and pretends that I have now beaten what my parents really bought him for no reason. He is also a liar. He lies even in small details. If there's a dispute and he describes my father, for example, the facts, he describes it at the age of 15 as mendacious and manipulative (but refined) as no other in his age group. He also beats my little sister (7) every day. No matter whether you kick against the stomach or a firm push against the wall. Everything is included. (Today he took a Barbie toy, for example, and hammered it on her foot with full force.) No matter what you do to beat him to stop, it just doesn't work in the long run. He completely disengages when you take away the Playstation. He starts beating my parents or me. He starts screaming and threatens to kill him. "I'll kill you, at some point I'll kill you". As soon as he gets his Playstation back, he immediately hugs the Playstation and grimaces. If he then reconnects the Playstation with the power, he says to the PlayStation words that are actually only said to his loved one. For him, the Playstation is the most sacred. And when he gets bored and I don't feel like beating my sister or provoking me then he really tries to argue between my father and my mother. He makes it so sophisticated that it just works. What do you think you should do with someone like that? For me it would be very clear - go home!

Not a psychopath but a 16 year old teenager. In his eyes, this is the time when the family becomes difficult.

For many years we have taken in young people in this age group with whom the state of war was bare at home. We were allowed to "fire" them all as young, reasonable, sociable and personable young people after a few years. When they lived with us, the relationship with the family also quickly improved.

You don't have to be a lion tamer, but sometimes nerves like wire ropes are needed. Today, when they come to visit me, I remember this interesting time.

I have already hung the punching bag in our basement for our new "subtenant" (15).

No matter what you do
Blows to make him stop, it just doesn't work in the long run.

So that means he is hit by your parents and / or you?

He is also a liar. He lies even in small details.

Are you really surprised that he is lying so as not to be hit again for bad luck or bad grades? Is it so reprehensible to protect yourself?

Back then my family in the country had a small animal stable with a kind of glass door. I accidentally broke the glass door with 13/14, it was broken.

Do you know who I put it on?

To my cat!

Why?!

So as not to be punished physically!

For him, the Playstation is the most sacred.

I agree. The virtual world is the only way to escape abuse and his bad life. It was the same with me at the time.

He starts beating my parents or me.

He fights back.

…

But for the youth welfare office and my family, I was the oh so bad child. My grandparents were of course always on my mother's side before they even knew a situation. Of course it didn't help that I considered the youth welfare office to be an enemy, hid up in the barn and did homework there or listened to music and didn't talk to family helpers - they only knew the version of my mother's description. Among strangers she has always done oh so dear mother and still does.

It is not yet possible to assess whether he is a psychopath. The development is only finished at the age of 25.

But I also knew someone who was 15, who hit his mother and often choked a classmate. Nobody helped her. Not even the teachers intervened. Then she changed schools.

The boy came to the nursing home because of his pronounced aggressiveness. Everyone was afraid of their unpredictability.

Your brother is manipulative and calculating; has a violent problem of aggression. There could be some arguments for an above-average anti-social streak. You need to get help from the adolescent psychiatrist. Even if he feels betrayed by it.

If the old subtenants still find their way back and pass their short exam each time, then you can be congratulated - congratulations on the necessary patience, even more sensitivity and the little bit that matters and has nothing to do with luck,

EVERYTHING DONE, and all corners at a glance. Respect!

I don't care why he is beaten. The note was just a hypothetical example.

I'm concerned THAT he will be beaten.

No matter what you do to beat him to stop, it just doesn't work in the long run.

…

He doesn't behave like this for no reason.

Why should he behave like this for no reason?!

You don't know. 8 years is a long time… It sounds dangerous to me and not something off the track!

Some start fighting back early or behave just like their family environment.
