Any ideas

[DrGonzo]

Starts out obsessive over partner and quickly loses interest once child is born.
Wouldn’t let other look after the child.(is that often a sign of abuse?)

Strong interest in the outdoors survival etc.
Highly intelligent
Second level maths teacher in an all girls school ( would this be unusual for someone that is highly intelligent teaching second level as opposed to third level I realise there are obviously very intelligent second level teachers just guessing it wouldn’t be too common? )

Mother of partner took an immediate dislike to him to the point that relations were strained between them mother and daughter.

Children that came in contact with him who immediately liked him greatly ( along with all of the adults) dispised after a while to the point would leave the house when he was around whereas initially he would bring them swimming. On 1 occasion he psychically & aggressively dragged a child out of the pool when they didn’t exit after being told another instance of violently shaking a child of no more than 5.

Ok with the info I have given probably biased with the interest in survival controlling initialling charming etc would I be right in guessing that he would tick a lot of boxes of a sociopath?

What im really curious to is the possessiveness of child is it love or could it have been more sinister?

It possibly could do, and if not at least some other personality disorder of some kind may be.

Glibness and Superficial Charm

Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.

Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."

Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.

Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.

Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.

Incapacity for Love

Need for Stimulation
Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.

Callousness/Lack of Empathy
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.

Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.

Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.

Irresponsibility/Unreliability
Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.

Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.

Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.

Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.
