Psychologists of Reddit, what made you realize you were treating a psychopath?

I used to work for a lady and her husband, who I'd bet money is a psychopath. His little daughter had a nasty accident that required brain surgery and facial reconstruction. He filmed the whole ordeal starting from moments after her fall up to bringing her home and uploaded it to YouTube. In the video after her surgery, she's sleeping and her mom is sitting vigil by her side. They are quietly talking and her mom let out a little giggle, which I didn't find that odd. I mean, her daughter was in the clear at this point and days of worry were finally over. She was finally relaxing. Then he leans over and said "we shouldn't laugh. That's not an appropriate reaction to this situation". The way he said it gave me chills. I'd always suspected his emotions were fake, but this sealed it for me. I quit way before this happened because my mom was dying and even though she was toxic and we were not close, she was still my mom and she was dying. At work that morning he cracked a joke about it to the effect that it'd be nice if she'd hurry up and die. He thought I'd find it funny because i didn't particularly like my mom. No dude. That was Friday, she died Sunday, and i put in my notice on Monday. Creepy fucker. My coworkers and i used to joke about all the bodies he probably had buried on his farm, but we were only half joking.
