Is it normal to grow out of homicidal tendencies or thoughts

The first reocurring dream I can remember was me killing my family that was when I was 2 years old .When I was very very young I wanted to kill my family and myself I even tried a couple times .I thought about it all the time .No one knew .But this behavior was at its worst the younger I was the older I got the more I realized how wrong it was and began to hate myself for wanting to hurt people .Around the age of 15 I stopped thinking about ever hurting anyone and now I cant hurt or even think about killing anyone .Did I grow out of homicidal tendencies or possibly even pyschopathic behavior .With nothing but self help?

    you just grew up,
    that's normal that we want to kill someone, you just were a psychopath, now you just can kill (physically spoken) like you have the choice to kill or not, and you're ok with that,
    you can forget this, you're an old and responsable person, you know that hurting is bad, so you're a good person too.

  • I think that this is part of growing up and developing empathy. That is something that comes with time. You don't just suddenly feel empathy and sympathy right away out of the blue. They are attributes that come with time and are determined by how you were brought up as well as life experiences. You seem to be well adjusted.
