This is my ex-husband
Quote From: anon_slcHow do we recognize the remorseless? One of their chief characteristics is a kind of glow or charisma that makes sociopaths more charming or interesting than the other people around them. Theyre more spontaneous, more intense, more complex or even sexier than everyone else, making them tricky to identify and leaving us easily seduced. Some of favorite books which provide a great introduction and insight on the subject:
Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Amoung Us by Robert Hare
Emotional Blackmail: When the People in Your Life Use Fear, Obligation and Guilt to Manipulate You by Susan Forward AND Why is it Always About You?: The Seven Deadly Sins of Narcissism by Sandy Hotchkiss
Treating Personality Disorders in Children and Adolescents: A Relational Approach by Efrain Bleiberg
Fundamentally, sociopaths are different because they cannot love. Sociopaths learn at an early age to show fake emotion, but underneath they are indifferent to others suffering. They live to dominate and thrive for the thrill to win. We all almost certainly know at least one or more sociopaths already.
Hope it helps!
This is my ex-husband. I had to deal with him for seven years of marriage, and then we got divorced and I still had to deal with him and his conniving lawyers and then his third wife who was just like him. Then he screwed her over in their divorce, but imo, she deserved it. When my youngest turned 17, he moved Las Vegas, leaving his two kids behind and thank God, I don't have to deal with him ANYMORE. I thought for sure once he got to Las Vegas, someone would kill him due to his lying, stealing, and his sociopathic ways.
