[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the ideas and the empathy. I do have a friend or two I can reach out to. It’s embarrassing, but it would be helpful as I finish active treatment. He does have a counselor and sees her regularly. I don’t know what they talk about since he’s past the age where she has to tell me.[b] I just don’t know where I got this kid with no empathy.[/b] [/quote]

I can relate a bit about not feeling any empathy... I never felt like I had a close relationship with my grandmother as my cousins did so when she got Cancer the whole family united and cared for her. Lots of family reunions, lots of family events. Everyone was around her all the time, etc.... All I wanted to do was to hide and disassociate myself from her and everyone, I was angry, not sure why. Of course, there was no therapy talk then so I was just the "black sheep" and the kid with no empathy. The more people/family pushed me to feel empathy the more I felt numbed. I honestly don't know why but for whatever reason, I was just not emotionally available.

Not everyone is born empathetic. Normally children learn empathy through their parents ,society and their surroundings. [/quote]
